1Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.2For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?3Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain and to the place where You dwell.Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me: Let them bring me unto thy holy hill, And to thy tabernacles.4Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.Then 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.Then will I go unto the altar of God, Unto God my exceeding joy; And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.5Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.Why 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.Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
