1To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer! (伯36:16; 诗61:1; 赛54:17; 耶23:6; 哈3:19)2O men,[1] how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? (诗5:6)3But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him. (出11:7; 诗50:5)4Be angry,[2] and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. (诗42:8; 诗77:6; 弗4:26)5Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the Lord. (申33:19; 诗37:3; 诗51:19; 诗62:8)6There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!” (民6:26; 诗31:16; 诗67:1; 诗80:3; 诗80:7; 诗80:19; 诗89:15; 诗119:135)7You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. (赛9:3; 赛16:10; 耶48:38)8In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. (利25:18; 利26:5; 申33:28; 诗3:5; 诗16:9)
