1 For the leader; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David.
2 Answer when I call, my saving God. In my troubles, you cleared a way; show me favor; hear my prayer.2 When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer.
3 How long will you people mock my honor, love what is worthless, chase after lies? Selah3 Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false?
4 Know that the LORD works wonders for the faithful; the LORD hears when I call out.4 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
5 Tremble and do not sin; upon your beds ponder in silence.5 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds.
6 Offer fitting sacrifice and trust in the LORD.6 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”
7 Many say, "May we see better times! LORD, show us the light of your face!" Selah7 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
8 But you have given my heart more joy than they have when grain and wine abound.8 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
9 In peace I shall both lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me secure.9 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest.
10 For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
