4 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness;
Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress:
^[a]Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
² O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah
³ But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself ^[b]him that is godly:
Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
^4 [c]Stand in awe, and sin not:
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah
⁵ Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And put your trust in Jehovah.
⁶ Many there are that say, Who will show us any good?
Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
⁷ Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.
⁸ In peace will I both lay me down and sleep;
For thou, Jehovah, ^[d]alone makest me dwell in safety.
