1 ^aHear me when I call, O God of my ^brighteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in ^cdistress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

  2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into ^ashame? how long will ye love ^bvanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

  3 But know that the Lord hath ^aset apart him that is ^bgodly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.

  4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

  5 Offer the ^asacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.

  6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy ^acountenance upon us.

  7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their ^acorn and their wine increased.

  8 I will both lay me down in ^apeace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
