¹For the choir leader. To be played on stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have set me free when I was in trouble.
Show me grace and hear my prayer. ²You men, how long will you insult my honor?
How long will you love what is empty and chase after lies?
Selah ³Know this: the LORD has set apart for himself those who are faithful to him.
The LORD hears me when I call to him. ⁴Be angry, but do not sin.
When you are on your bed, look deep into your heart and be still.
Selah ⁵Offer the sacrifices of those who do what is right.
Trust in the LORD. ⁶Many people ask, "Who can show us anything good?"
LORD, let the light of your face shine on us. ⁷You have filled my heart with joy.
It is more joy than people have when they have lots of grain and new wine. ⁸I will lie down and sleep in peace.
For you alone, LORD, keep me safe.
