1 Answer me when I call to you,
my righteous God.
Give me relief from my
distress;
have mercy on me and hear my
prayer.
2 How long will you
people turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love delusions and seek false
gods[b]?[c]
3 Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for
himself;
the Lord hears when I
call to him.
4 Tremble
and[d]
do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
5 Offer the sacrifices of the
righteous
and trust in the Lord.
6 Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us
prosperity?”
Let the light of your face shine on
us.
7 Fill my heart with joy
when their grain and new wine
abound.
8 In peace I will
lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety.
