For the director of music.
With stringed instruments.
A psalm of David.
1
Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer.
2
How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? Selah
3
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself;
the LORD will hear when I call to him.
4
In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent. Slelah
5
Offer right sacrifices and trust in the LORD.
6
Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?"
Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.
7
You have filled my heart with greater joy
than when their grain and new wine abound.
8
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone,
O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
