1 Answer me when I call to you,my righteous God.Give me relief from my distress;have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2 How long will you people turn my glory into shame?How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?,
3 Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself;the Lord hears when I call to him.
4 Tremble and do not sin;when you are on your beds,search your hearts and be silent.
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteousand trust in the Lord.
6 Many, Lord, are asking, ‘Who will bring us prosperity?’Let the light of your face shine on us.
7 Fill my heart with joywhen their grain and new wine abound.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep,for you alone, Lord,make me dwell in safety.
