1 Answer me when I call to you,
O my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;
be merciful to me and hear my prayer. |
2 How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame1 4:2 Or you dishonor my Glorious One ? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods2 4:2 Or seek lies ?
Selah |
3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself;
the LORD will hear when I call to him. |
4 In your anger do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
Selah |
5 Offer right sacrifices
and trust in the LORD . |
6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?"
Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD . |
7 You have filled my heart with greater joy
than when their grain and new wine abound. |
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O LORD ,
make me dwell in safety. |
