¹ (A psalm by David for the music leader. Use stringed instruments.) You are my God and protector. Please answer my prayer. I was in terrible distress, but you set me free. Now have pity and listen as I pray. ² How long will you people refuse to respect me? You love foolish things, and you run after what is worthless. ³ The LORD has chosen everyone who is faithful to be his very own, and he answers my prayers. ⁴ But each of you had better tremble and turn from your sins. Silently search your heart as you lie in bed. ⁵ Offer the proper sacrifices and trust the LORD. ⁶ There are some who ask, "Who will be good to us?" Let your kindness, LORD, shine brightly on us. ⁷ You brought me more happiness than a rich harvest of grain and grapes. ⁸ I can lie down and sleep soundly because you, LORD, will keep me safe.
