1 Answer me when I pray to you,my God who does what is right.Lift the load that I carry.Be kind to me and hear my prayer.
2 People, how long will you turn my honor into shame?You love what is false, and you look for new lies. Selah
3 You know that the Lord has chosen for himself those who are loyal to him.The Lord listens when I pray to him.
4 When you are angry, do not sin.Think about these things quietlyas you go to bed. Selah
5 Do what is right as a sacrifice to the Lord.And trust the Lord.
6 Many people ask,“Who will give us anything good?Lord, be kind to us.”
7 But you have made me very happy.I am happier than they are,even with all their grain and wine.
8 I go to bed and sleep in peace.Lord, only you keep me safe.
