[1] WHEN I have called thee, thou hast answered me, O my God and Saviour of my righteousness; thou hast comforted me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me and hear my prayer.
[2] Men, how long will you obscure my glory? how long will you love vanity? do you want deception forever?
[3] But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him that is wonderful; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
[4] Be angry and yet sin not; commune with your own heart and meditate upon your bed.
[5] Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in the LORD.
[6] There are many that say, Who can show us a good man so that he may shine upon us the light of his countenance?
[7] O LORD, thou hast put gladness in my heart more than in the time that their wheat and their wine and their oil increased.
[8] in peace I will both lie down and sleep; for thou, O LORD, alone makest me dwell in safety.
