1 Answer me when I pray to you,my God who does what is right.Make things easier for me when I am in trouble.Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2 People, how long will you turn my honor into shame?How long will you love what is false and 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 Lordand 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,happier than they are,even with all their grain and new wine.
8 I go to bed and sleep in peace,because, Lord, only you keep me safe.
