The Safety of the Faithful
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood?
Selah
3 But know that athe Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly;
The Lord will hear when I call to Him.
4 aBe angry, and do not sin.
bMeditate within your heart on your bed, and be still.
Selah
5 Offer athe sacrifices of righteousness,
And bput your trust in the Lord.
6 There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
aLord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
7 You have put agladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
8 aI will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
bFor You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
