¹ To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. ANSWER ME when I call, O God of my righteousness (uprightness, justice, and right standing with You)! You have freed me when I was hemmed in and enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me and hear my prayer. ² O you sons of men, how long will you turn my honor and glory into shame? How long will you love vanity and futility and seek after lies? Selah ! ³ But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly . The Lord listens and heeds when I call to Him. ⁴ Be angry and sin not; commune with your own hearts upon your beds and be silent (sorry for the things you say in your hearts). Selah ! ⁵ Offer just and right sacrifices; trust (lean on and be confident) in the Lord. ⁶ Many say, Oh, that we might see some good! Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord. ⁷ You have put more joy and rejoicing in my heart than when their wheat and new wine have yielded abundantly. ⁸ In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust.
