O men,[a] how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
    How long will you love vain words and seek after (A)lies? Selah
But know that the Lord has (B)set apart (C)the godly for himself;
    the Lord hears when I call to him.

(D)Be angry,[b] and do not sin;
    (E)ponder in your own hearts (F)on your beds, and be silent. Selah
