← Psalms

• A. 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.

• B. 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?

• C. 3-5 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

• B'. 6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

• A'. 7-8 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
