1For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

2O sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach? [How long] will you love what is worthless and aim at deception? Selah.

3But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself; The LORD hears when I call to Him.

4Tremble, and do not sin; Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in the LORD.

6Many are saying, 'Who will show us [any] good?' Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O LORD!

7You have put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and new wine abound.

8In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety.
