¹ To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer! ² O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah. ³ But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him. ⁴ Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah. ⁵ Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD. ⁶ There are many who say, "Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!" ⁷ You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. ⁸ In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
