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 When I call, give me answers. God, take my side! Once, in a tight place, you gave me room; Now I'm in trouble again: grace me! hear me!

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 You rabble - how long do I put up with your scorn? How long will you lust after lies? How long will you live crazed by illusion?

3 Know this: the LORD takes personal care of the faithful. The LORD will hear me when I cry out to him.

3 Look at this: look Who got picked by God! He listens the split second 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 Complain if you must, but don't lash out. Keep your mouth shut, and let your heart do the talking.

5 Bring righteous offerings, and trust the LORD!

6 Many people say, "We can't find goodness anywhere. The light of your face has left us, LORD!"

6 Why is everyone hungry for more? "More, more," they say. "More, more." I have God's more-than-enough,

7 But you have filled my heart with more joy than when their wheat and wine are everywhere!

7 More joy in one ordinary day Than they get in all their shopping sprees.

8 I will lie down and fall asleep in peace because you alone, LORD, let me live in safety.

8 At day's end I'm ready for sound sleep, For you, God, have put my life back together.
