Answer me when I call,
O God of my righteousness!
You have given me relief
when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me
and hear my prayer!

O men, how long shall my honor
Be turned to shame?
How long will you love
vain words and seek after lies?

But know that the Lord has set apart
the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.

Be angry, and do not sin;
ponder in your own hearts
on your beds, and be silent.

Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in the Lord.

There are many who say,
“Who will show us some good?”
Lift up the light of your face upon us,
O Lord!
You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain
and wine abound.

In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
