Answer Me When I Call!

1To the overseer upon the stringed instruments; chanting of David. In my calling, answer me, O God of my justice: in straits thou didst enlarge me; compassionate me and hear my prayer.

2Sons of man, how long mine honor for shame? Ye will love emptiness, ye will seek falsehood. Silence.

3And know ye that Jehovah separated the kind one to himself: Jehovah will hear in my calling to him.

4Be ye disturbed, and ye shall not sin: say in your heart upon your bed,

5Sacrifice ye the sacrifices of justice, and trust to Jehovah.

6Many saying, Who will cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy face, O Jehovah.

7Thou gavest gladness in my heart, from the time their grain and their new wine increased.

8In peace together shall I lie down, and I shall sleep: for thou Jehovah alone wilt cause me to dwell confidently.
