1Answer me when I call, O God[†]of my righteousness!
You have[†]relieved me inmy distress;
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2O sons of men, how long will my glory become a reproach?
How long will you love what is worthless and seek falsehood?[†]Selah.
3But know that Yahweh has[†]set apart the holy one for Himself;
Yahweh hears when I call to Him.
4[†]Tremble,[†]and do not sin;
[†]Ponder in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5Offer[†]the sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in Yahweh.
6Many are saying, “Who will show us good?”
Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Yahweh!
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 Yahweh, make me to abide in safety.
