^[1] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

^[5] Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh.
^[6] Many say, “Who will show us any good?” Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

^[8] In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.
