You sons of man, how long will (A)my [a]honor be treated as (B)an insult?
How long will you love (C)what is worthless and strive for a (D)lie? Selah
But know that the Lord has [b](E)set apart the (F)godly person for Himself;
The Lord (G)hears when I call to Him.

[c](H)Tremble, [d](I)and do not sin;
[e](J)Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah
