1 Answer me when I cry out, my righteous God!Set me free from my troubles!Have mercy on me!Listen to my prayer!
2 How long, you people,will my reputation be insulted?How long will you continueto love what is worthlessand go after lies? Selah
3 Know this: the Lord takespersonal care of the faithful.The Lord will hear mewhen I cry out to him.
4 So be afraid, and don’t sin!Think hard about it in your bedand weep over it! Selah
