3But know that Yhwh hath set apart him that is godly for himself: Yhwh 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. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Yhwh. 6There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Yhwh, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 7Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their grain and their wine increased.
