Yahweh Makes Me Abide in Safety 1Answer me when I call, O God [†]of my righteousness! You have [†]relieved me in my distress; Be gracious to me and hear my prayer. 2O sons of men, how long will my glory become a reproach? How long will you love what is worthless and seek falsehood? [†]Selah. 3But know that Yahweh has [†]set apart the holy one for Himself; Yahweh hears when I call to Him. 4[†]Tremble, [†]and do not sin; [†]Ponder in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 5Offer [†]the sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in Yahweh. 6Many are saying, “Who will show us good?” Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Yahweh! 7You have put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and new wine abound. 8In peace I will [†]both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O Yahweh, make me to abide in safety.
