The God Who Hears

Psalm 3

Father, You alone are my righteousness.
You alone can make me right with you.
You alone have made me right with you.
Answer me.

You have given me relief in the past,
when I was distressed, upset, and alone.
Be gracious to me in this moment of need
and answer me.

My honor has been turned into shame.
My enemies love vain words and seek after lies.
But You have set apart the godly for Yourself.
and You will answer me.

I will not sin in my anger,
but I will ponder in the night and be silent.
My offering, and my trust, I give to You.
Lord, answer me.

Many say, "Who will bring any good?
Where is God's face in this darkness?"
Their doubts rail against me, O Lord.
Please, answer me.

But You have poured joy into this heart,
more joy than their abundant grain,
more joy than their flowing wine.
You have answered me.

In peace I will lie down and sleep.
In Your righteousness, I have found my rest.
for You alone make me dwell in safety.
I know that You hear me, O Lord,
You have answered me.
