The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New Living Translation NLT
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
Declare me innocent, O God! Defend me against these ungodly people. Rescue me from these unjust liars.
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 God, my only safe haven. Why have you tossed me aside? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies?
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
Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.
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
There I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, 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 am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!
