1 For the music director, on stringed instruments, a psalm of David.
2 Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness! You set me free when I am in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
3 O sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into my shame? How long will you love worthlessness and pursue falsehood? Selah
4 But know that Adonai has set apart the godly for His own. Adonai will hear when I call to Him.
5 Tremble, but do not sin! Search your heart while on your bed, and be silent. Selah
6 Offer righteous sacrifices and put your trust in Adonai.
7 Many are asking, “Who will show us some good?” May the light of Your face shine upon us, Adonai!
8 You have put joy in my heart— more joy than when their grain and new wine overflow.
9 I will lie down and sleep in shalom. For You alone, Adonai, make me live securely.
