1Judge[H8199] me, O God[H430], and plead[H7378] my cause[H7379] against an ungodly[H3808]nation[H1471]: O deliver[H6403] me from the deceitful[H4820] and unjust[H5766]man[H376].
2
For thou art the God[H430] of my strength[H4581]: why dost thou cast me off?[H2186] why go[H1980] I mourning[H6937] because of the oppression[H3906] of the enemy?[H341]
3
O send out[H7971] thy light[H216] and thy truth[H571]: let them lead[H5148] me; let them bring[H935] me unto thy holy[H6944]hill[H2022], and to thy tabernacles[H4908].
4
Then will I go[H935] unto the altar[H4196] of God[H430], unto God[H410] my exceeding[H8057]joy[H1524]: yea, upon the harp[H3658] will I praise[H3034] thee, O God[H410] my God[H410].
5
Why art thou cast down[H7817], O my soul?[H5315] and why art thou disquieted[H1993] within me? hope[H3176] in God[H430]: for I shall yet praise[H3034] him, who is the health[H3444] of my countenance[H6440], and my God[H430].
