Bible in Basic English

Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. (Selah.)

Give the offerings of righteousness, and put your faith in the Lord.

There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.

Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.

I will take my rest on my bed in peace, because you only, Lord, keep me safe.
