Third Millennium Bible TMB
GOD'S WORD Translation GW
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
1
Judge me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation. Rescue me from deceitful and unjust people.
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
You are my fortress, O God! Why have you rejected me? Why must I walk around in mourning while the enemy oppresses me?
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
Send your light and your truth. Let them guide me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain and to your dwelling place.
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 let me go to the altar of God, to God my [highest] joy, and I will give thanks to you on the lyre, 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 discouraged, my soul? Why are you so restless? Put your hope in God, because I will still praise him. He is my savior and my God.
