*Listen to my call, God of fairness: you helped me when I was in trouble; show me kindness and listen to my prayer.
2
O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
*People, for how long will you change my honor to disgrace? How long will you love worthless things and pursue fleeting pleasures? Consider this carefully.
3
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
*But understand, the LORD chooses good people for himself; the LORD listens when I call to him.
4
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
*Stand in amazement, don't do wrong: talk to yourself in your heart when you're lying down, and be quiet. Pause.
5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
*Offer good deeds to God, and believe in Him.
6
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
*Many people ask, Who will show us goodness? Lord, please shine your light on us.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
*You have made my heart joyful, even more than when there was an abundance of grain and wine.
8
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
*I'll rest peacefully and sleep, because you, Lord, are the one who keeps me safe.
