Evening Prayer of Trust in God.
For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.1
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2
O sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach?
{How long} will you love what is worthless and aim at deception? Selah.3
But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself;
The LORD hears when I call to Him.
4
Tremble, and do not sin;
Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in the LORD.
6
Many are saying, “Who will show us {any} good?
Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O LORD!7
You have put gladness in my heart,
More than when their grain and new wine abound.8
In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety.
