How long will you people
    refuse to respect me?[a]
You love foolish things,
and you run after
    what is worthless.[b]

The Lord has chosen
    everyone who is faithful
to be his very own,[c]
    and he answers my prayers.
(A) But each of you
had better tremble
    and turn from your sins.
Silently search your heart
    as you lie in bed.
