New International Version NIV
Third Millennium Bible TMB
1 Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked.
1
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
