1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation : Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For thou art the God of my strength ; why hast thou cast me off ? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy ?
3 Oh 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 ; And 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 thou in God ; for I shall yet praise him, Who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
