1 When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness! In my straits you made room for me; be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 Sons of men, how long will my glory be turned into disgrace? How long will you love what is empty and chase after falsehood? Selah.
3 Know this: the LORD has set apart for himself the godly one; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
4 Tremble, and do not sin; speak with your heart on your bed, and keep silent. Selah.
5 Bring sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in the LORD.
6 There are many who say, "Who will let us see good?" Raise over us the light of your face, O LORD.
7 You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and their new wine increase.
8 In peace I will lie down and at once fall asleep, for you alone, O LORD, settle me in safety.
