Answer me when I call!

God, answer me when I pray to you. You are the one who shows people that I am right to trust in you. You rescued me when I was in great trouble. Act mercifully toward me and listen to me while I pray.

How long will you people shame me instead of honoring me? You people love to falsely accuse me.

All those who honor Yahweh, he has chosen them to belong to him. Yahweh will listen to me when I pray to him.

You should be afraid of Yahweh, but do not allow your fear to cause you to sin. While you lie on your bed, silently examine what you are thinking in your inner being.

Also, offer to Yahweh the proper sacrifices and continue trusting in him.

Some people ask, “Will someone please bring good things to us?” But I say, “Yahweh, continue to act kindly toward us.

You have caused me to be very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.

It is in peace and security that I will lie down at night and sleep soundly because I know that it is only you, Yahweh, who will keep me safe.”

Answer me when I call!

Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? Selah.

But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.

Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.

Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.

You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
