To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1 Answer me when I call, O God of my right!
Thou hast given me room when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.
2 O men, how long shall my honor suffer shame?
How long will you love vain words, and seek after lies? [Selah]
3 But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
commune with your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. [Selah]
and put your trust in the Lord.
6 There are many who say, “O that we might see some good!
Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, O Lord!”
7 Thou hast put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for thou alone, O Lord, makest me dwell in safety.
