Selah. | 2 You important people, how long are you going to insult my honor? How long are you going to love what is empty and seek what is a lie?

The LORD hears me when I call to him. | 3 But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly: Yahweh will hear when I call to him. | 3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him. | 4 Tremble, and do not sin; Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still.

Let the light of your presence shine on us, O LORD. | 6 Many say, "Who will show us any good?" Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us. | 6 Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah. | 7 You have put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and new wine abound. | 7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. | 7 You put more joy in my heart than when their grain and new wine increase. | 7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased. | 7 Thou hast put joy in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their new wine was in abundance. | 8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety. | 8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. | 8 I fall asleep in peace the moment I lie down because you alone, O LORD, enable me to live securely. | 8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety.
