To the Ps. 61, title;Hab. 3:19choirmaster: with Ps. 61, title;Hab. 3:19stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1 Answer me when I call, O God of my Isa. 54:17;Jer. 23:6righteousness!
You have See Job 36:16given me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2 O men,4:2 Or O men of rank how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
How long will you love vain words and seek after [Ps. 5:6]lies? Selah
3 But know that the Lord has [Ex. 11:7] set apart [Ps. 50:5]the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
4 Cited Eph. 4:26Be angry,4:4 Or Be agitated and do not sin;
Ps. 77:6ponder in your own hearts See Ps. 42:8on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5 Offer Ps. 51:19;Deut. 33:19right sacrifices,
and put your Ps. 37:3;62:8trust in the Lord.
6 There are many who say, "Who will show us some good?
Num. 6:26Lift up Ps. 89:15;[Ps. 31:16;67:1;80:3,7,19;119:135]the light of your face upon us, O Lord!"
7 You have put [Isa. 9:3;16:10;Jer. 48:38]more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8 In peace I will both See Ps. 3:5lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me Ps. 16:9;Lev. 25:18,19;26:5;Deut. 33:28dwell in safety.
