For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by stringed instruments.
Answer me when I call to you,
O God who declares me innocent.
Free me from my troubles.
Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
How long will you people ruin my reputation?
How long will you make groundless accusations?
How long will you continue your lies? Interlude
You can be sure of this:
The Lord set apart the godly for himself.
The Lord will answer when I call to him.
Don’t sin by letting anger control you.
Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude
Offer sacrifices in the right spirit,
and trust the Lord.
Many people say, “Who will show us better times?”
Let your face smile on us, Lord.
You have given me greater joy
than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.

You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine. (Psalm 4:7)
Pray
Gracious Lord, so many are asking, “who will show us better times?” My own heart is filled with questions as each day is filled with uncertainty. You have declared me innocent in Christ; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. Cleanse my heart and keep me from sins of impatience or anger. Help me to remember that in Christ I have the greatest of all joys and deepest of all peace. I pray especially for the sick and infected. Draw near to them and grant them the healing and help that they need. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
