God, answer me when I pray to you. You are the one who vindicates me; Rescue me from things that distress me. Act mercifully toward me, and listen to me while I pray.

How long will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.

All those who are loyal to Yahweh, he has chosen them to belong to him. Yahweh listens to me when I pray to him.
4 Maanụ jijiji, unu emehiekwala; mgbe unu nọ nʼelu ihe ndina unu; nọọnụ jụụ na-enyocha obi unu. (Sela)
When you people get angry, do not [allow your anger to control you and cause you to] sin. While you lie on your bed, silently examine what you are thinking.

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

Some people ask, “Who will allow good things to happen to us?” [But I say], “Yahweh, continue to act kindly toward us.

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

I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
