- 1 in finem in carminibus psalmus David
- 2 cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiae meae in tribulatione dilatasti mihi miserere mei et exaudi orationem meam
- 3 filii hominum usquequo gravi corde ut quid diligitis vanitatem et quaeritis mendacium diapsalma
- 4 et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum
- 5 irascimini et nolite peccare quae dicitis in cordibus vestris in cubilibus vestris conpungimini diapsalma
- 6 sacrificate sacrificium iustitiae et sperate in Domino multi dicunt quis ostendet nobis bona
- 7 signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine dedisti laetitiam in corde meo
- 8 a fructu frumenti et vini et olei sui multiplicati sunt
- 9 in pace in id ipsum dormiam et requiescam
- 10 quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me

Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer
English text
- 1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness : thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and hearken unto my prayer.
- 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour : and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing?
- 3 Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is godly: when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.
- 4 Stand in awe, and sin not : commune with your own heart, and in your chamber, and be still.
- 5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness : and put your trust in the Lord.
- 6 There be many that say : Who will shew us any good?
- 7 Lord, lift thou up : the light of thy countenance upon us.
- 8 Thou hast put gladness in my heart : since the time that their corn and wine and oil increased.
- 9 I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest : for it is thou, Lord, only, that makest me dwell in safety.

King James Version
English text
- 1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
- 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
- 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 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
- 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
- 6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
- 7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
- 8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Luther's translation
German text
- 1 Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen auf Saitenspielen.
- 2 Erhöre mich, wenn ich rufe, Gott meiner Gerechtigkeit, der du mich tröstest in Angst; sei mir gnädig und erhöre mein Gebet!
- 3 Liebe HERREN, wie lange soll meine Ehre geschändet werden? Wie habt ihr das Eitle so lieb und die Lügen so gerne! Sela.
- 4 Erkennet doch daß der HERR seine Heiligen wunderlich führet! Der HERR höret, wenn ich ihn anrufe.
- 5 Zürnet ihr, sündiget nicht! Redet mit eurem Herzen auf eurem Lager und harret. Sela.
- 6 Opfert Gerechtigkeit und hoffet auf den HERRN.
- 7 Viele sagen: Wie sollt uns dieser weisen, was gut ist? Aber, HERR, erhebe über uns das Licht deines Antlitzes!
- 8 Du erfreuest mein Herz, ob jene gleich viel Wein und Korn haben.
