¹ Answer me when I pray, O God, my defender! When I was in trouble, you helped me. Be kind to me now and hear my prayer. ² How long will you people insult me? How long will you love what is worthless and go after what is false? ³ Remember that the LORD has chosen the righteous for his own, and he hears me when I call to him. ⁴ Tremble with fear and stop sinning; think deeply about this, when you lie in silence on your beds. ⁵ Offer the right sacrifices to the LORD, and put your trust in him. ⁶ There are many who pray: "Give us more blessings, O LORD. Look on us with kindness!" ⁷ But the joy that you have given me is more than they will ever have with all their grain and wine. ⁸ When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace; you alone, O LORD, keep me perfectly safe.
