¹ When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.² Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? Selah.³ Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.⁴ Be deeply moved, but do not sin, - Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. Selah.⁵ Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.

⁶ Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.⁷ Thou hast put gladness in my heart, - beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.⁸ In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.
