Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New Revised Standard NRS
1 (42-1) <A psalm for David.> Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
1
Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from those who are deceitful and unjust deliver me!
2 (42-2) For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth 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 (42-3) Sent forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into 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 (42-4) And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.
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 (42-5) To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? (42-6) Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation 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.
