4
1
Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness;
give me room when I am hemmed in.
Have mercy on me and listen to my prayer.
2
You people, how long will you turn my honor into shame?
How long will you love what is worthless and seek after lies?
Selah
3
But know that Yahweh has set apart the faithful ones for himself.
Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4
Tremble in fear, but do not sin!
Meditate in your heart on your bed and be silent.
Selah
5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness
and put your trust in Yahweh.
6
Many say, "Who will show us anything good?"
Yahweh, lift up the light of your face on us.
7
You have given my heart more gladness
than others have when their grain and new wine abound.
8
It is in peace that I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Yahweh, make me safe and secure.
