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.
