¹ Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

² O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonour? How long will ye love vanity, And seek after falsehood? Selah

³ But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: The LORD will hear when I call unto him.

⁴ Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah

⁵ Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD.

⁶ Many there be that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
