King James BibleNew Living Translation
1To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.1Answer me when I call to you, O God who declares me innocent. Free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.2How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you make groundless accusations? How long will you continue your lies? Interlude
3But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.3You can be sure of this: The LORD set apart the godly for himself. The LORD will answer when I call to him.
4Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.4Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude
5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.5Offer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust the LORD.
6There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.6Many people say, “Who will show us better times?” Let your face smile on us, LORD.
7Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.7You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
8I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.8In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.
