| 1 | For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, 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 | You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? 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 | But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly; Yahweh will hear when I call 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 | Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. 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 | Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh. | Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD. | Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD. | |
| 6 | Many say, “Who will show us any good?” Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us. | 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 gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are 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 lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me live 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. | |
