Psalms

The Message

1 When I call, give me answers. God, take my side! Once, in a tight place, you gave me room; Now I'm in trouble again: grace me! hear me!

2 How long will you lust after lies? How long will you live crazed by illusion?

3 Who got picked by God! He listens the split second I call to him.

4 Keep your mouth shut, and let your heart do the talking.

5 Build your case before God and wait for his verdict.

6 "More, more." I have God's more-than-enough,

7 Than they get in all their shopping sprees.

8 For you, God, have put my life back together.
