Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX
New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA
1 Judge me, o God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: deliver me from the unjust and crafty 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, O God, art my strength: wherefore hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses me?
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 Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have led me, and brought me to thy holy mountain, 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 And I will go in to the altar of God, to God who gladdens my youth: I will give thanks to thee on the harp, 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 Wherefore art thou very sad, O my soul? and wherefore dost thou trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to 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.
