1 Answer mep when I call to you,
my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;q
have mercyr on me and hear my prayer.s

when you are on your beds,z
search your hearts and be silent.

6 Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
Let the light of your face shine on us.b

for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety.h
