Peace in the Storm

¹Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. ²Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. ³But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. ⁴I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. ⁵I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me. ⁶I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. ⁷Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. ⁸Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

¹Hear 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. ²O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. ³But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord 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. ⁵Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord. ⁶There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. ⁷Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. ⁸I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
