Answer me when I call!

1
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare me when I call, O God of my righteousnes: thou hast set me at libertie, when I was in distresse: haue mercie vpon me and hearken vnto my prayer.
2
O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? Selah.
3
For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.
4
Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
6
Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
7
Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
8
I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.

Answer me when I call!

1
Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2
You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.
3
But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
4
Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
6
Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
7
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
