IV EVENING PRAYER OF TRUST IN GOD
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David
［1］ ANSWER me when I call, O God of my righteousness;
Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress:
Have〖Or, Be gracious unto me.〗 mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
［2］ O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood?
［Selah
［3］ But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him〖Or, one that he favoreth.〗 that is godly:
Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
［4］ Stand〖Or, Be ye angry.〗 in awe, and sin not:
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. ［Selah.
［5］ Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And put your trust in Jehovah.
［6］ Many there are that say, Who will show us any good?
Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
［7］ Thou hast put gladness in my heart.
More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.
［8］ In peace will I both lay me down and sleep;
For thou, Jehovah, alone〖Or, in solitude.〗 makest me dwell in safety.
