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 shame?
How long will you love delusions
and seek false gods?
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.

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.
