Safety in Yahweh
4For the music director; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.a
1When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness.b
In trouble deliver me.c
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2O sons of man, how long will my honord be a disgrace?
How long will you love vanity?
How long will you seek lies?e Selah
3But know that Yahweh has set apartf for himself the faithful one.g
Yahweh hears when I call to him.
4Be disturbed but do not sin.
Commune in your hearth on your bed and be silent. Selah
5Offer correct sacrifices,i
and trust inj Yahweh.
6Many are saying, “Who will show us something good?”
Lift up overk us the light of your face, O Yahweh.
7You have put gladness in my heart
more than whenl their grain and their wine abound.
8In peace I will lie down and sleep at once,m
for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.
