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 You rabble—how long do I put up with your scorn?How long will you lust after lies?How long will you live crazed by illusion?
3 Look at this: lookWho got picked by God!He listens the split second I call to him.

5 Complain if you must, but don't lash out.Keep your mouth shut, and let your heart do the talking.Build your case before God and wait for his verdict.
6 Why is everyone hungry for more? "More, more," they say."More, more."I have God's more-than-enough,More joy in one ordinary day
7 Than they get in all their shopping sprees.At day's end I'm ready for sound sleep,For you, God, have put my life back together.
