2 How long will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.
O sons of man until when? [will] honor my [become] ignominy will you love?! vanity will you seek? falsehood (Selah)

7 You have made me very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.
You have put joy in heart my more than a time [when] grain their and new wine their they abound.
8 I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
In peace together I will lie down and I may sleep for you O Yahweh alone to security you caused to dwell me.
