New International VersionEnglish Standard Version
1For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods2O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah
3Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.3But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.
4Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.4Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.5Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the LORD.
6Many, LORD, are asking, "Who will bring us prosperity?" Let the light of your face shine on us.6There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!”
7Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound.7You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.8In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
