O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after a lie? Selah.

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

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Yhwh.
6
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Yhwh, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

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

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