^1 (a)Answer me when ^(b)I call, O God ^[b]of my righteousness!
You have ^[c](c)relieved me in my distress;
Be ^(d)gracious to me and ^(e)hear my prayer.

² O sons of men, how long will ^(f)my ^[d]honor become ^(g)a reproach?
How long will you love ^(h)what is worthless and aim at ⁽ⁱ⁾deception? ^[e]Selah.
³ But know that the Lord has ^[f](j)set apart the ^(k)godly man for Himself;
The Lord ^(l)hears when I call to Him.

^4 [g](m)Tremble, ^[h](n)and do not sin;
^[i](o)Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
⁵ Offer ^[j]the ^(p)sacrifices of righteousness,
And ^(q)trust in the Lord.

⁶ Many are saying, "^(r)Who will show us any good?"
^(s)Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord!
⁷ You have put ^(t)gladness in my heart,
More than when their grain and new wine abound.
⁸ In peace I will ^[k]both ^(u)lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O Lord, make me to ^(v)dwell in safety.
