Psalms

1Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation.Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

2For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3Oh, send out your light and your truth.Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.

4Then I will go to the altar of God,to God, my exceeding joy.I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

5Why are you in despair, my soul?Why are you disturbed within me?Hope in God!For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.

1Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,

2For thou [art] the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

3Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They — they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.

4And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, O God, my God.

5What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
