CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINNEW JERUSALEM
1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David.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 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 Children of men, how long will you be heavy of heart, why love what is vain and chase afteril usions?Pause
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 Realise that Yahweh performs wonders for his faithful, Yahweh listens 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 careful not to sin, speak in your hearts, and on your beds keep silence.Pause
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 Loyally offer sacrifices, and trust in Yahweh.
6 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”6 Many keep saying, 'Who wil put happiness before our eyes?' Let the light of your face shine on us.Yahweh,
7 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.7 to my heart you are a richer joy than al their corn and new wine.
8 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.8 In peace I lie down and at once fall asleep, for it is you and none other, Yahweh, who make me restsecure.
9 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest.
10 For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
