1 Answer me when I cry out, my righteous God! Set me free from my troubles! Have mercy on me! Listen to my prayer!
1 Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2 How long, you people, will my reputation be insulted? How long will you continue to love what is worthless and go after lies? Selah
2 How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods
3 Know this: the LORD takes personal care of the faithful. The LORD will hear me when I cry out to him.
3 Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.
4 So be afraid, and don't sin! Think hard about it in your bed and weep over it! Selah
4 Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.
5 Bring righteous offerings, and trust the LORD!
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
6 Many people say, "We can't find goodness anywhere. The light of your face has left us, LORD!"
6 Many, LORD, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?” Let the light of your face shine on us.
7 But you have filled my heart with more joy than when their wheat and wine are everywhere!
7 Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound.
8 I will lie down and fall asleep in peace because you alone, LORD, let me live in safety.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.
