Yahweh Makes Me Abide in Safety
1 (C1)Answer me when (C2)I call, O God (F1)of my righteousness! 
You have (F2)(C3)relieved me in my distress; 
Be (C4)gracious to me and (C5)hear my prayer.
2 O sons of men, how long will (C1)my glory become (C2)a reproach? 
How long will you love (C3)what is worthless and seek (C4)falsehood? Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F1)Selah.
3 But know that Yahweh has (F1)(C1)set apart the (C2)holy one for Himself; 
Yahweh (C3)hears when I call to Him.
4 (F1)(C1)Tremble, (F2)(C2)and do not sin; 
(F3)(C3)Ponder in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5 Offer (F1)the (C1)sacrifices of righteousness, 
And (C2)trust in Yahweh.
6 Many are saying, "(C1)Who will show us good?" 
(C2)Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Yahweh!
7 You have put (C1)gladness in my heart, 
More than when their grain and new wine abound.
8 In peace I will (F1)both (C1)lie down and sleep, 
For You alone, O Yahweh, make me to (C2)abide in safety.
