| 1 | Judge me, O God, and contend my contention from a nation not godly: from the man of deceit and iniquity thou wilt deliver me. | 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 | For thou the God of my strength: why didst thou reject me? wherefore darkened shall I go about for the oppression of the enemy? | 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 thy light and thy truth; they shall lead me, they shall bring me to thy holy mountain and to thy tents. | 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 | I will come to the altar of God, to God the gladness of my joy: and I will praise thee upon the harp, O 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 wilt thou be bowed down, O my soul? and why wilt thou be disturbed upon me? hope upon God, for yet shall I praise him, the salvation of my face, and 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. | |
