Yahweh Makes Me Abide in Safety

1 Answer me when I call, O God ^{▼▼Who maintains my right}of my righteousness!
You have ^{▼▼Lit made room for}relieved me in my distress;
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 O sons of men, how long will my glory become a reproach?
How long will you love what is worthless and seek falsehood? ^{▼▼Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude}Selah.
3 But know that Yahweh has ^{▼▼Or dealt wonderfully with}set apart the holy one for Himself;
Yahweh hears when I call to Him.
4 ^{▼▼With anger or fear}Tremble, ^{▼▼Or but}and do not sin;
^{▼▼ Lit Speak}Ponder in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5 Offer ^{▼▼Or righteous sacrifices}the sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in Yahweh.
6 Many are saying, “Who will show us good?”
Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Yahweh!
7 You have put gladness in my heart,
More than when their grain and new wine abound.
8 In peace I will ^{▼▼Or at the same time}both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O Yahweh, make me to abide in safety.
