| 1 | To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. -- A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer. |
| 2 | Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. Selah. |
| 3 | And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him. |
| 4 | `Tremble ye, and do not sin;` Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah. |
| 5 | Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah. |
| 6 | Many are saying, `Who doth show us good?` Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah, |
| 7 | Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied. |
| 8 | In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell! |
