| King James Bible | International Standard Version |
| 1Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. | 1 You be my judge, God, and plead my case against an unholy nation; rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man. |
| 2For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? | 2Since you are the God who strengthens me, why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?" |
| 3O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. | 3Send forth your light and your truth so they may guide me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain and to your dwelling places. |
| 4Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. | 4Then I will approach the altar of God, even to God in whom my joy finds its source. Then I will praise you with the lyre, God, my God, |
| 5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. | 5Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will praise him once again, since his presence saves me and he is my God. |
