Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness :
Protestant
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness :
thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble;
have mercy upon me, and hearken unto my prayer.
O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour :
and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing?
Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself
the man that is godly :
when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.
Stand in awe, and sin not :
commune with your own heart, and in your chamber, and be still.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness :
and put your trust in the Lord.
There be many that say :
Who will shew us any good?
Lord, lift thou up :
the light of thy countenance upon us.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart :
since the time that their corn, and wine, and oil increased.
I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest :
for it is thou, Lord, only, that makest me dwell in safety.
