1 | Answer me when I call, O God of my right! Thou hast given me room when I was in distress. Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer. |
2 | O men, how long shall my honor suffer 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, but sin not; commune with 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, "O that we might see some good! Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, O LORD!" |
7 | Thou hast 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 thou alone, O LORD, makest me dwell in safety. |
