1 Answer me when I call, God *of my righteousness!

You have *relieved me in my distress;

Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

2 You sons of man, how long will my *honor be treated as an insult?

How long will you love what is worthless and strive for a lie? Selah

3 But know that the Lord has *set apart the godly person for Himself;

The Lord hears when I call to Him.

4 *Tremble, *and do not sin;

*Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah

5 Offer *the sacrifices of righteousness,

And trust in the Lord.

6 Many are saying, "Who will show us anything good?"

Lift up the light of Your face upon us, Lord!

7 You have put joy in my heart,

More than when their grain and new wine are abundant.

8 In peace I will *both lie down and sleep,

For You alone, Lord, have me dwell in safety.
