New Living Translation | International Standard Version |
1Declare me innocent, O God! Defend me against these ungodly people. Rescue me from these unjust liars. | 1 You be my judge, God, and plead my case against an unholy nation; rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man. |
2For you are God, my only safe haven. Why have you tossed me aside? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? | 2Since you are the God who strengthens me, why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?" |
3Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live. | 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. |
4There I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, 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 am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior 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. |
