him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
⁴Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
⁵Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
⁶There be many that say, Who will shew

us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
