1
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
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
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 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 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.
