1 Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 You sons of man, how long will my honor be treated as an insult?
How long will you love what is worthless and strive for a lie? Selah
3 But know that the LORD has set apart the godly person for Himself;
The LORD hears when I call to Him.
4 Tremble, and do not sin;
Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in the LORD.
6 Many are saying, “Who will show us anything good?”
Lift up the light of Your face upon us, LORD!
7 You have put joy in my heart,
More than when their grain and new wine are abundant.
8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, LORD, have me dwell in safety.
