- 1Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
- 2You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah.
- 3But know that the Lord has set apart for himself him who is godly: the Lord will hear when I call to him.
- 4Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
- 5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the Lord.
- 6Many say, “Who will show us any good?” the Lord, let the light of your face shine on us.
- 7You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
- 8In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, the Lord alone, make me live in safety.
