1 Judge me, O God, and plead my causeagainst 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 mourningbecause 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.
