1 1 1 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. 1 +04:1-8 is numbered 4:2-9 in Hebrew texts.+1
1 Answer me when I call to you, 1 my righteous God. 1 Give me relief from my distress; 1 have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2 How long will you men turn my glory into shame? 2 How long will you love delusions and seek false gods[a] ?[b]
3 Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself; 3 the Lord hears when I call to him.
4 Tremble and[c] do not sin; 4 when you are on your beds, 4 search your hearts and be silent.
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous 5 and trust in the Lord.
6 Many, Lord, are asking, "Who will bring us prosperity?" 6 Let the light of your face shine on us.
7 Fill my heart with joy 7 when their grain and new wine abound.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, 8 for you alone, Lord, 8 make me dwell in safety.
