1When I call, answer me, my righteous God! When I was in distress, you set me free. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.1Answer me when I call to you, O God who declares me innocent. Free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2You people, how long will you malign my reputation? How long will you love what is vain and what is false? Interlude2How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you make groundless accusations? How long will you continue your lies? Interlude
3But understand this: the LORD has set apart the godly for himself! The LORD will hear me when I cry out to him!3You can be sure of this: The LORD set apart the godly for himself. The LORD will answer when I call to him.
4Be angry, yet do not sin. Think about this when upon your beds, and be silent. Interlude4Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude
5Offer sacrifices that are righteous, and put your confidence in the LORD.5Offer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust the LORD.
6Many are asking, "Who will help us to see better days?" LORD, may the light of your favor shine upon us.6Many people say, “Who will show us better times?” Let your face smile on us, LORD.
7You have given me more joy in my heart than at harvest times, when grain and wine abound.7You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
8I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, LORD, enable me to live securely.8In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.
