NET BibleNew American Standard Bible 1995
1For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of David. When I call out, answer me, O God who vindicates me! Though I am hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place. Have mercy on me and respond to my prayer! 1For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2You men, how long will you try to turn my honor into shame? How long will you love what is worthless and search for what is deceptive? (Selah) 2O sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach? How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception? Selah.
3Realize that the LORD shows the godly special favor; the LORD responds when I cry out to him. 3But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself; The LORD hears when I call to Him.
4Tremble with fear and do not sin! Meditate as you lie in bed, and repent of your ways! (Selah) 4Tremble, and do not sin; Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5Offer the prescribed sacrifices and trust in the LORD! 5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in the LORD.
6Many say, "Who can show us anything good?" Smile upon us, LORD! 6Many are saying, "Who will show us any good?" Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O LORD!
7You make me happier than those who have abundant grain and wine. 7You have put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and new wine abound.
8I will lie down and sleep peacefully, for you, LORD, make me safe and secure. 8In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety.
