Hear and answer when I call, O Righteous God. From distress You set me free; Hear now my prayer. O how men love vanity; Falsehood they seek; Turning glory into shame; They are misled. O how long will sons of men love vanity? O how long love vain intrigues; Seek after lies? Trust in God and stand in awe, And cease to sin. Know that God has set apart All godly men. O that we might see some good! Many will say, Only look and smile on us, O Righteous God! God has given me more joy Than they all know; He alone makes me to dwell Safely in peace.
