The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
King James Version KJV
1 Judge me, God, and plead my cause against a faithless nation. Rescue me from those who deceive and from those who are unjust.
1
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For you are the God of my strength; why have you thrust me aside? Why must I go about mourning, under pressure by the enemy?
2
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?
3 Send out your light and your truth; let them be my guide; let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the places where you live.
3
O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and delight; I will praise you on the lyre, God, my God.
4
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.
5 My soul, why are you so downcast? Why are you groaning inside me? Hope in God, since I will praise him again for being my Savior and God.
5
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.
