3But know that the Lord has set apart the godly man for Himself; The Lord hears when I call to Him. 4Tremble, and do not sin; Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in the Lord. 6Many are saying, “Who will show us any good?” Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord! 7You have put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and new wine abound.
