1For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.
2Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
3You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.
4But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
5Stand in awe, and don't sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
6Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
7Many say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
8You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
9In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
