Answer me when I pray,
O God, my defender!
When I was in trouble, you help me.
Be kind to me now and hear my prayer.
²How long will you people insult me?
How long will you love what is
worthless
an go after what is false?
³Remember that the LORD has chosen the righteous for his own,
and hears me when I call him.
⁴Tremble with fear and stop sinning;
think deeply about this,
when you lie in silence on your beds.
⁵Offer the right sacrifices to the LORD,
and put your trust in him.
⁶There are many who pray:
"Give us more blessings, O LORD.
Look on us with kindness!"
⁷But the joy that you have given me
is more than they will ever have
with all their corn and wine.
⁸When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace;
you alone, O LORD, keep me perfectly safe.
Amen.
