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!
