| 3Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! | 3O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your dwelling places. |
| 4Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God. | 4Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God. |
| 5Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. | 5Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. |
