(1) O God, my vindicator!
Answer me when I call!
When I was distressed, you set me free;
now have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

(2) Men of rank, how long will you shame my honor,
love what is vain, chase after lies? (Selah)
(3) Understand that Adonai sets apart
the godly person for himself;
Adonai will hear when I call to him.

    the Lord hears(E) when I call to him.

Tremble and[c] do not sin;(F)
    when you are on your beds,(G)
    search your hearts and be silent.
