41 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 .
31 O Lord , how my adversaries have increased ! Many are rising up against me. 2 Many are saying of my soul , "There is no deliverance for him in God ." Selah . 3 But You, O Lord , are a shield about me, My glory , and the One who lifts my head .
4 I was crying to the Lord with my voice , And He answered me from His holy mountain . Selah . 5 I lay down and slept ; I awoke , for the Lord sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about . 7 Arise , O Lord ; save me, O my God ! For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek ; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked . 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord ; Your blessing be upon Your people ! Selah .
