1
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness; thou hast enlarged me
when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2
O ye sons of men, how long
will ye turn my glory into shame?
how long will ye love vanity,
and seek after the lie? Selah.
3
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself; the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4
Stand in awe, and sin not; meditate in your heart upon your bed, and desist. Selah.
5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6
There are many that say, Who will show us
any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7
Thou hast put gladness in my heart in the time
that their grain and their wine multiplied.
