1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.) Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear 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.

3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

4 Stand 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 the LORD.

6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety

1 For the leader; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.

2 Answer me when I call, my saving God. When troubles hem me in, set me free; take pity on me, hear my prayer.

3 How long, O people, will you be hard of heart? Why do you love what is worthless, chase after lies?

4 Know that the LORD works wonders for his faithful one; the LORD hears when I call out to him.

5 Tremble and sin no more; weep bitterly within your hearts, wail upon your beds,

6 Offer fitting sacrifices and trust in the LORD.

7 Many say, “May we see better times! LORD, show us the light of your face!”

8 But you have given my heart more joy than they have when grain and wine abound.

9 In peace I will lie down and fall asleep, for you alone, LORD, make me secure.

v 1-6. David is singing whole hearted praise to the Lord for vindication and victory over his enemies. Thanks for Victories.

 

 

 

 

 

 

v 7 The eternal Lord will judge righteously, so the righteous can find rest in Him. Therefore they should praise Him and tell others about Him. Either in remembrance or in another danger of dying, David calls upon God for mercy. He again mentions the wicked falling into their own pit, David has confidence in the destiny of the wicked,   He closes with prayer that will indeed judge the wicked and put fear of Him into them, even in this life.
