1
Judge me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation. Rescue me from deceitful and unjust people.
2
You are my fortress, O God! Why have you rejected me? Why must I walk around in mourning while the enemy oppresses me?
3
Send your light and your truth. Let them guide me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain and to your dwelling place.
4
Then let me go to the altar of God, to God my [highest] joy, and I will give thanks to you on the lyre, O God, my God.
5
Why are you discouraged, my soul? Why are you so restless? Put your hope in God, because I will still praise him. He is my savior and my God.
