Bible

1 Answer me when I call, O God who declares me innocent. Take away my distress. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer. 2 How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you make these groundless accusations? How long will you pursue lies? 3 You can be sure of this: The LORD has set apart the godly for himself. The LORD will answer when I call to him. 4 Don't sin by letting anger gain control over you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. 5 Offer proper sacrifices, and trust in the LORD. 6 Many people say, "Who will show us better times?" Let the smile of your face shine on us, LORD. 7 You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and wine. 8 I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.
