1. Vindicate me, O God,

1. and plead my cause against an ungodly nation;

1. deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

2. For You are the God of my refuge;

2. why have You rejected me?

2. Why do I walk about mourning

2. because of the oppression of the enemy?

3. Send out Your light and Your truth.

3. Let them lead me;

3. let them bring me to Your holy hill,

3. and to Your dwelling place.

4. Then I will go to the altar of God,

4. to the God of my joyful gladness;

4. with the harp I will give thanks to You,

4. O God, my God.

5. Why are you cast down, O my soul?

5. And why are you disquieted withinme?

5. Hope in God;

5. for I will yet give Him thanks,

5. the salvation of my countenance and my God.
