1 Responde-me quando clamo, ó Deus da minha justiça;
na angústia, me tens aliviado;
tem misericórdia de mim e ouve a minha oração.
2 Ó homens, até quando tornareis a minha glória em vexame,
e amareis a vaidade, e buscareis a mentira?
3 Sabei, porém, que o Senhor distingue para si o piedoso;
o Senhor me ouve quando eu clamo por ele.
4 Irai-vos e não pequeis;
consultai no travesseiro o coração e sossegai.
5 Oferecei sacrifícios de justiça
e confiai no Senhor.
6 Há muitos que dizem: Quem nos dará a conhecer o bem?
Senhor, levanta sobre nós a luz do teu rosto.
7 Mais alegria me puseste no coração do que a alegria deles,
quando lhes há fartura de cereal e de vinho.
8 Em paz me deito e logo pego no sono,
porque, Senhor, só tu me fazes repousar seguro.
1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness;
Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress:
Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? [Selah
3 But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly:
Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not:
Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. [Selah
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And put your trust in Jehovah.
6 Many there are that say, Who will show us any good?
Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep;
For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.
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 "? [^2]
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 righteous and 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 joy when their grain and new wine abound.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.
