1 Hear me when I call, O | 3 God of • my | righteous•ness: ||

thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble; * have mercy upon me, and | hearken | 3 unto my | prayer. ||

2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye blas- | pheme mine | honour, ||

and have such pleasure in | vani•ty, and | seek • after | leasing? ||

2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye blas- | pheme mine | honour, ||

and have such pleasure in | vani•ty, and | seek • after | falsehood? ||

3 Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the | man • that is | godly; ||

when I | call up•on the | Lord • he will | hear me. ||

4 Stand in | awe, and | sin not; ||

commune with your own heart, and in your | chamber, | and be | still. ||

5 Offer the | sacri•fice of | righteous•ness, ||

and | put your | trust • in the | Lord. ||

6 There be many that say, Who will | show us • any | good? ||

7 Lord, lift thou up the | 3 light of • thy | counte•nance up- | on us. ||

8 Thou hast put | gladness • in my | heart; ||

since the time that their corn and | wine and | oil • in- | creased. ||

8 Thou hast put | gladness • in my | heart; ||

yea, more than when their | corn and • wine and | oil • in- | crease. ||

9 I will lay me down in | peace, and • take my | rest; ||

for it is thou, Lord, only, that | 3 makest me | dwell in | safety. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
