About this chapterAn evening prayer of David. He calls on God who has given him relief in distress and asks for mercy and an answer. He challenges those who turn his honor into shame and love empty things, telling them that the Lord sets apart the faithful and hears them. He urges them to tremble rather than sin, to reflect quietly on their beds, and to offer right sacrifices and trust the Lord. While many long for good things, David asks for God's face to shine on him, finds greater joy than harvest brings, and lies down in peace, safe in God alone.

1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer. 2How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies ?Selah 3Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him. 4Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.Selah 5Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD. 6Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD. 7You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound. 8I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
