Selah. ###### 3 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 4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. ###### 5 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord. ###### 6 6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. ###### 7 7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. ###### 8 8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
