A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.
2 Brenton O ye sons of men, how long will ye be slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause. BSB BSB: How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies? Selah
3 Brenton But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him. BSB BSB: Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.

7 Brenton Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil. BSB BSB: You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
