Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB
New International Version NIV
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against those who are not merciful; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
1
Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked.
2 For thou <em>art</em> the God of my strength; why dost thou cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
2
You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?
3 O send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me; let them bring me unto the mountain of thy holiness and to thy tabernacles.
3
Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.
4 Then I will enter in to the altar of God, unto the God <em>of</em> my exceeding joy; yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
4
Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Wait for God, for I shall yet praise him, <em>who is</em> the saving health of my countenance and my God.
5
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
