1. To the director: With stringed instruments. A song of David. God, you showed that I was innocent. You gave me relief from all my troubles. So listen to me now when I call to you for help. Be kind to me and hear my prayer.
2. Men, how long will you try to dishonor me? Do you enjoy wasting your time searching for new lies against me? Selah
3. You know the Lord listens to his loyal servant. The Lord hears me when I pray to him.
4. If something is bothering you, be angry, but don't sin. Think about it when you go to bed, and calm down. Selah
5. Give the right sacrifices to the Lord, and put your trust in him!
6. Many people say, "I wish I could enjoy the good life. Lord, give us some of those blessings."
7. But you have made me happier than they will ever be with all their wine and grain.
8. When I go to bed, I sleep in peace, because, Lord, you keep me safe.
