New Living Translation NLT

1 Answer me when I call to you, O God who declares me innocent. Free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

3 You can be sure of this: The LORD set apart the godly for himself. The LORD will answer when I call to him.

6 Many people say, “Who will show us better times?” Let your face smile on us, LORD .

7 You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.

8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.
