[1] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from
my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer. [2] You sons of men,
how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity,
and seek after falsehood? Selah. [3] But know that Yahweh has set apart for
himself him who is godly: Yahweh will hear when I call to him. [4] Stand in
awe, and don`t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still.
Selah. [5] Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in
Yahweh. [6] Many say, "Who will show us any good?" Yahweh, let the light
of your face shine on us. [7] You have put gladness in my heart, More
than when their grain and their new wine are increased. [8] In peace I will
both lay myself down and sleep, For you, Yahweh alone, make me live in
safety. Psalm 5 For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by
David.
