Something about this Psalm just moves me every time I read it... in a way that I can hardly articulate. That's probably why it's been a favorite of mine, and a comfort to my soul for years now... I have found it to be true.
An Evening Prayer of Trust in God |
| To the chief Musician on Neg'inoth, A Psalm of David. |
|
| 1 | 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: Eph. 4.26
| | | 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 show 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. |
|
|
