Psalms

A Night Prayer

4  Answer me when I call,God, who vindicates me. A You freed me from affliction; be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

2 How long, exalted men, 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 apartthe faithful for Himself;the Lord will hear when I call to Him.4 Be angry B and do not sin; on your bed, reflect in your heart and be still. 

Selah

5 Offer sacrifices in righteousness C and trust in the Lord. 

6 Many are saying, “Who can show us anything good? ”Look on us with favor, Lord. 

7 You have put more joy in my heartthan 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.
