(A)Be[a] angry, and do not sin.
(B)Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
Offer (C)the sacrifices of righteousness,
And (D)put your trust in the Lord.

There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
(E)Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
You have put (F)gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
(G)I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
(H)For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

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

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

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