1 For the one directing. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. In my calling out, may You answer me, O God of my righteousness! In my distress, You widened it for me; show me favor and hear my prayer. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer! For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2 O sons of men, until when will my glory be shame? Will you⁺ love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods
3 and know that YHWH has marked out the faithful one for Himself; YHWH hears in my calling to Him. But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him. Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.
4 Tremble and do not sin; speak in your⁺ heart on your⁺ bed, and be silent. Selah Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.
5 Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in YHWH. Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD. Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
6 Many are saying, “Who will show us good?” Lift upon us the light of Your face, O YHWH. There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!” Many, LORD, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?” Let the light of your face shine on us.
7 You have put joy in my heart, more than the time when their grain and their new wine have increased. You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound.
8 In peace I will both lie down and will sleep, for You alone, O YHWH, cause me to dwell in safety. In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.
