2 Ye sons of men, till when is my glory [to be put] to shame? [How long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? (Selah)
Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. (Selah)
3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious [man] for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

4 Be moved with anger, and sin not; meditate in your own hearts upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)

5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and confide in Jehovah.

6 Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.
Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
7 Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance.
Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
