4

Cum invocaremBCP p. 587

1Answer me when I call, O God, defender of my cause; *you set me free when I am hard-pressed; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

2“You mortals, how long will you dishonor my glory; *how long will you worship dumb idols and run after false gods?”

3Know that the Lord does wonders for the faithful; *when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.

4Tremble, then, and do not sin; *speak to your heart in silence upon your bed.

5Offer the appointed sacrifices *and put your trust in the Lord.

6Many are saying, “Oh, that we might see better times!” *Lift up the light of your countenance upon us, O Lord.

7You have put gladness in my heart, *more than when grain and wine and oil increase.

8I lie down in peace; at once I fall asleep; *for only you, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
