Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have freed me when I was hemmed in and relieved me when I was in distress;
Be gracious to me and hear [and respond to] my prayer.

But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself [and dealt wonderfully with] the godly man [the one of honorable character and moral courage—the one who does right].
The Lord hears and responds when I call to Him.

Why has the wicked spurned and shown disrespect to God?
He has said to himself, “You will not require me to account.”

Have all the workers of wickedness and injustice no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon the Lord?

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
And I am saved from my enemies.

O Lord, save [the king];
May the King answer us in the day we call.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
And Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox.

Their inward thought is that their houses will continue forever,
And their dwelling places to all generations;
They have named their lands after their own names [ignoring God].

Call on Me in the day of trouble;
I will rescue you, and you shall honor and glorify Me.”

Have workers of wickedness no knowledge or no understanding?
They eat up My people as though they ate bread
And have not called upon God.

As for me, I shall call upon God,
And the Lord will save me.

May his name endure forever;
May his name continue as long as the sun;
And let men bless themselves by him;
Let all nations call him blessed.

I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit searches:

Pour out Your wrath on the [Gentile] nations that do not know You,
And on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.

Then we shall not turn back from You;
Revive us and we will call on Your name.

For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our sins, sending them away, completely letting them go forever and ever];
And abundant in lovingkindness and overflowing in mercy to all those who call upon You.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For You will answer me.

“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.

That You may grant him [power to calm himself and find] peace in the days of adversity,
Until the pit is dug for the wicked and ungodly.

Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress!
Incline Your ear to me;
In the day when I call, answer me quickly.

O give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the people.

They made a calf in Horeb (Sinai)
And worshiped a cast image.

Thus they exchanged [the true God who was] their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.

He hushed the storm to a gentle whisper,
So that the waves of the sea were still.

Then they were glad because of the calm,
And He guided them to their desired haven (harbor).

Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.

I will lift up the cup of salvation
And call on the name of the Lord.

I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call on the name of the Lord.

Lord, I call upon You; hurry to me.
Listen to my voice when I call to You.

The Lord is near to all who call on Him,
To all who call on Him in truth (without guile).
