Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Switch Version:

¹ For the choir director: with stringed instruments. ⓛ A psalm of David. [1] Answer me when I call, God, who vindicates me. [1] ⓜ You freed me from affliction; ⓝ be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

² How long, exalted ones, [2] will my honor be insulted? ⓐ How long will you love what is worthless ⓑ and pursue a lie? Selah

³ Know that the LORD has set apart the faithful for himself; the LORD will hear when I call to him.

⁴ Be angry [3] and do not sin; ⓒ on your bed, reflect in your heart and be still. ⓓ Selah

⁵ Offer sacrifices in righteousness [4] ⓔ and trust in the LORD. ⓕ

⁶ Many are asking, “Who can show us anything good?” Let the light of your face shine on us, LORD. ⓖ

⁷ You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and new wine abound. ⓗ

⁸ I will both lie down and sleep in peace, ⓘ for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety. ⓙ
