1 You be my judge, God, and plead my case against an unholy nation; rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man. Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me! Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked.
2 Since you are the God who strengthens me, why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?| For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?
3 Send forth your light and your truth so they may guide me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain and to your dwelling places. Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.
4 Then 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, Then 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. Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.
5 Why 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. Why 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. Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
