[For the End, a Song of David among the Psalms.]
[1] When I called upon him, the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my prayer.
[2] O ye sons on men, how long will ye be slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause.
[3] But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
[4] Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. Pause.
[5] Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
[6] Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
[7] Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
[8] I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
