^(C1)Answer me when ^(C2)I call, God ^(F1)of my righteousness! You have ^(F2)(C3)relieved me in my distress; Be ^(C4)gracious to me and ^(C5)hear my prayer.

You sons of man, how long will ^(C1)my ^(F1)honor be treated as ^(C2)an insult? How long will you love ^(C3)what is worthless and strive for a ^(C4)lie? Selah

But know that the LORD has ^(F1)(C1)set apart the ^(C2)godly person for Himself; The LORD ^(C3)hears when I call to Him.

^(F1)(C1)Tremble, ^(F2)(C2)and do not sin; ^(F3)(C3)Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah

Offer ^(F1)the ^(C1)sacrifices of righteousness, And ^(C2)trust in the LORD.

Many are saying, "^(C1)Who will show us anything good?" ^(C2)Lift up the light of Your face upon us, LORD!

You have put ^(C1)joy in my heart, More than when their grain and new wine are abundant.

In peace I will ^(F1)both ^(C1)lie down and sleep, For You alone, LORD, have me ^(C2)dwell in safety.

^(C1)Listen to my words, LORD, Consider my ^(C2)sighing.

Listen to ^(C1)the sound of my cry for help, ^(C2)my King and my God, For to You I pray.

In the morning, LORD, ^(F1)You will hear my voice; In the ^(C1)morning I will present my ^(F2)prayer to You and be on the ^(C2)watch.

For You are not a God ^(C1)who takes pleasure in wickedness; ^(C2)No evil can dwell with You.

The ^(C1)boastful will not ^(C2)stand before Your eyes; You ^(C3)hate all who do injustice.

You ^(C1)destroy those who speak lies; The LORD loathes ^(C2)the person of bloodshed and deceit.

But as for me, ^(C1)by Your abundant graciousness I will enter Your house, ^(F1)At Your holy temple I will ^(C2)bow in ^(C3)reverence for You.

LORD, ^(C1)lead me ^(C2)in Your righteousness ^(C3)because of my enemies; Make Your way ^(F1)straight before me.

For there is ^(C1)nothing ^(F1)trustworthy in ^(F2)their mouth; Their ^(C2)inward part is destruction itself. Their ^(C3)throat is an open grave; They ^(F3)flatter with their tongue.

Make them pay, God; ^(C1)Have them fall by their own schemes! ^(C2)Scatter them in the multitude of their wrongdoings, For they are ^(C3)rebellious against You.

But ^(C1)rejoice, all who ^(C2)take refuge in You, Sing for joy forever! And ^(F1)may You ^(C3)shelter them, That those who ^(C4)love Your name may rejoice in You.

For You ^(C1)bless the righteous person, LORD, You ^(C2)surround him with favor as with a shield.

LORD, ^(C1)do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your wrath.

Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am ^(C1)frail; ^(C2)Heal me, LORD, for ^(C3)my bones are horrified.

And my ^(C1)soul is greatly horrified; But You, LORD—^(C2)how long?

Return, LORD, ^(C1)rescue my ^(F1)soul; Save me because of Your mercy.

For ^(C1)there is no ^(F1)mention of You in death; In ^(F2)Sheol, who will praise You?

I am ^(C1)weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I flood my couch with ^(C2)my tears.

My ^(C1)eye has wasted away with grief; It has grown old because of all my enemies.

^(C1)Leave me, all you who practice injustice, For the LORD ^(C2)has heard the sound of my weeping.

The LORD ^(C1)has heard my pleading, The LORD ^(C2)receives my prayer.

All my enemies will ^(C1)be put to shame and greatly horrified; They shall ^(F1)turn back, they will ^(C2)suddenly be put to shame.
