1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. 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.
To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a psalm of David. When call I answer me - O God of righteousness my in the distress you have made wide for me show favor to me and hear prayer my.
2 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? (Pause)
O sons of man until when? [will] honor my [become] ignominy will you love?! vanity will you seek? falsehood (Selah)
3 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
And know that he has set apart Yahweh [the] faithful for himself Yahweh he will hear when call I to him.
4 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds. (Pause)
Tremble and may not you sin speak in heart your on bed your and be silent (Selah)
5 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”
Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness and trust to Yahweh.
6 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
Many [people] [are] saying who? will he show us good lift up! on us [the] light of face your O Yahweh.
7 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
You have put joy in heart my more than a time [when] grain their and new wine their they abound.
8 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest. For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
In peace together I will lie down and I may sleep for you O Yahweh alone to security you caused to dwell me.
