KING JAMES BIBLENEW JERUSALEM
1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.1 [For the choirmaster For strings Psalm Of David] When I cal , answer me, God, upholder of my right. Inmy distress you have set me at large; take pity on me and hear my prayer!
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.2 Children of men, how long will you be heavy of heart, why love what is vain and chase afteril usions?Pause
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.3 Realise that Yahweh performs wonders for his faithful, Yahweh listens when I call to him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.4 Be careful not to sin, speak in your hearts, and on your beds keep silence.Pause
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.5 Loyally offer sacrifices, and trust in Yahweh.
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.6 Many keep saying, 'Who wil put happiness before our eyes?' Let the light of your face shine on us.Yahweh,
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.7 to my heart you are a richer joy than al their corn and new wine.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.8 In peace I lie down and at once fall asleep, for it is you and none other, Yahweh, who make me restsecure.
