5 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds.5 Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
6 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
7 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.7 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.

9 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest.9 In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest:
10 For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.10 for thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
