King James Version KJV
New Revised Standard NRS
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
1
Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from those who are deceitful and unjust deliver me!
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?
2
For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you cast me off? Why must I walk about mournfully because of the oppression of the enemy?
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.
3
O send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling.
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.
4
Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and I will praise you with the harp, O God, my 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.
5
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God.
