1 To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a psalm of David. When call I answer me - O God of righteousness my in the distress you have made wide for me show favor to me and hear prayer my.
For the leader, with stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer my cry, God, my defender. Often from straits you have brought me to spacious places. So now show me your favour and hear my prayer.
2 O sons of man until when? [will] honor my [become] ignominy will you love?! vanity will you seek? falsehood (Selah)
How long, you proud people, will my honour be stained by the slanders you love, and the lies that you follow? (Selah)
3 And know that he has set apart Yahweh [the] faithful for himself Yahweh he will hear when call I to him.
See! The Lord has shown me his wonderful kindness: the Lord hears, when I call to him.
4 Tremble and may not you sin speak in heart your on bed your and be silent (Selah)
Sin not in your anger: but speak in your heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness and trust to Yahweh.
Offer true sacrifice, trust in the Lord.
6 Many [people] [are] saying who? will he show us good lift up! on us [the] light of face your O Yahweh.
Many are longing for fortune to smile. Lift upon us the light of your face.
7 You have put joy in heart my more than a time [when] grain their and new wine their they abound.
You have put in my heart, Lord, a deeper joy than was theirs who had corn and wine in abundance.
8 In peace together I will lie down and I may sleep for you O Yahweh alone to security you caused to dwell me.
So in peace I will lie down and sleep; for you, Lord, keep me safe.
