1 Answer me when I play,
O God, my defender!
When I was in trouble, you
helped me.
Be kind to me now and hear
my prayer.
 
2 How long will you people insult
me?
How long will you love what is
worthless
and go after what is false?
 
3  Remember that the LORD has
chosen the righteous
for his own
and he hears me when I call
to him.
 
4 Tremble with fear and stop
sinning;
think deeply about this,
when you lie in silence on your
beds
5  Offer the right sacrifices to the
LORD,
and put your trust in him.

6 There are many pray;
"Give us more blessings,
O LORD.
Look on us with kindness!"
7  But the joy that you have given me
is more than they will ever have
with all their grain ande wine.

8  When I lie down, I  go to sleep in peace;
you alone, O LORD, keep me
perfectly safe.
