1 1 1 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
1 Answer me when I call to you, 1 O my righteous God. 1 Give me relief from my distress; 1 be merciful to me and hear my prayer.
2 How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame[a] ? 2 How long will you love delusions and seek false gods[b] ? Selah
3 Know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; 3 the Lord will hear when I call to him.
4 In your anger do not sin; 4 when you are on your beds, 4 search your hearts and be silent. Selah
5 Offer right sacrifices 5 and trust in the Lord.
6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" 6 Let the light of your face shine upon us, O Lord.
7 You have filled my heart with greater joy 7 than when their grain and new wine abound.
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, 8 for you alone, O Lord, 8 make me dwell in safety.
