[1] Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
[2] How long, O you sons of men, Will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness And seek falsehood? Selah
[3] But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The Lord will hear when I call to Him.
[4] Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
[5] Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the Lord.
[6] There are many who say, “Who will show us any good?” Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
[7] You have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
[8] I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
