The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New King James Version NKJV
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
Vindicate me, O God, And plead my cause against an ungodly nation; Oh, 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 You are the God of my strength; Why do You cast me off? Why do I go 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
Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle.
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 I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And on the harp I will praise You, 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 are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
