| 1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. | 1 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my right! Thou hast given me room when I was in distress. Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer. |
| 2 When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer. | 2 O men, how long shall my honor suffer shame? How long will you love vain words, and seek after lies? [Selah] |
| 3 Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false? | 3 But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him. |
| 4 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him. | 4 Be angry, but sin not; commune with your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. [Selah] |
| 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 Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD. |
| 6 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?” | 6 There are many who say, "O that we might see some good! Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, O LORD!" |
| 7 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart. | 7 Thou hast put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. |
| 8 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied. | 8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for thou alone, O LORD, makest me dwell in safety. |
| 9 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest. | |
| 10 For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope. | |
