1ANSWER me when I call to You,
O God of my righteousness.
You have freed me from my afflictions;
have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2 How long, O sons of men, will you turn my honour into shame?
How long will you love what is worthless, and seek after lies? Selah
3 But 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 bed,
reflect in your heart and be still. Selah
5 Offer sacrifices in righteousness
and trust in the Lord.
6 Many are asking, “Who can show us anything good?”
Let the light of Your face shine upon us, O Lord.
7 You have put more joy in my heart
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.
