[1]WHEN I have called thee, thou hast answered me, O my God and Saviour of my righteousness; thou hast comforted me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me and hear my prayer.[2]Men, how long will you obscure my glory? how long will you love vanity? do you want deception forever?[3]But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him that is wonderful; the LORD will hear when I call to him.[4]Be angry and yet sin not; commune with your own heart and meditate upon your bed.[5]Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in the LORD.[6]There are many that say, Who can show us a good man so that he may shine upon us the light of his countenance?[7]O LORD, thou hast put gladness in my heart more than in the time that their wheat and their wine and their oil increased.[8]in peace I will both lie down and sleep; for thou, O LORD, alone makest me dwell in safety.
