For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.

[1] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness.
Give me relief from my distress.
Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
[2] You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.
[3] But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly;
Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
[4] Stand in awe, and don’t sin.
Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
[5] Offer the sacrifices of righteousness.
Put your trust in Yahweh.
[6] Many say, “Who will show us any good?”
Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.
[7] You have put gladness in my heart,
more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
[8] In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.
King James Version

To the chief Musician H5329 on Neginoth, H5058 A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732

[1] Hear H6030 me when I call, H7121 O God H430 of my righteousness: H6664
Thou hast enlarged H7337 me when I was in distress; H6862 Have mercy H2603 upon me,§ and hear H8085 my prayer. H8605
[2] O ye sons H1121 of men, H376 how long H5704 will ye turn my glory H3519 into shame? H3639
How long will ye love H157 vanity, H7385 and seek H1245 after leasing? H3577 Selah. H5542
[3] But know H3045 that the Lord H3068 hath set apart H6395 him that is godly H2623 for H3588 himself:
The Lord H3068 will hear H8085 when I call H7121 unto him.
[4] Stand in awe, H7264 and sin H2398 not:
Commune H559 with your own heart H3824 upon H5921 your bed, H4904 and be still. H1826 Selah. H5542
[5] Offer H2076 the sacrifices H2077 of righteousness, H6664
And put your trust H982 in the Lord. H3068
[6] There be many H7227 that say, H559
Who will shew H7200 us any good? H2896
Lord, H3068 lift thou up H5375
The light H216 of thy countenance H6440 upon us.
[7] Thou hast put H5414 gladness H8057 in my heart, H3820
More than in the time H6256 that their corn H1715 and their wine H8492 increased. H7231
[8] I will both H3162 lay me down H7901 in peace, H7965 and sleep: H3462
For H3588 thou, Lord, H3068 only H910 makest me dwell H3427 in safety. H983
