1 For the leader; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David. [2] Answer me when I call, my saving God. When troubles hem me in, set me free; take pity on me, 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 How long, O people, will you be hard of heart? Why do you love what is worthless, chase after lies? 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 Know that the LORD works wonders for his faithful one; the LORD hears when I call out 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 sin no more; weep bitterly within your hearts, wail upon your beds, 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 Offer fitting sacrifices and trust in the LORD. Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD. Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
6 Many say, “May we see better times! LORD, show us the light of your face!” Selah 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 But you have given my heart more joy than they have when grain and wine abound. 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 lie down and fall asleep, for you alone, LORD, make me secure. 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.
