1 Vindicate me, O God!Fight for me against an ungodly nation!Deliver me from deceitful and evil men!
2 For you are the God who shelters me.Why do you reject me?Why must I walk around mourningbecause my enemies oppress me?
3 Reveal your light and your faithfulness!They will lead me,they will escort me back to your holy hill,and to the place where you live.
4 Then I will go to the altar of God,to the God who gives me ecstatic joy,so that I express my thanks to you, O God, my God, with a harp.
5 Why are you depressed, O my soul?Why are you upset?Wait for God!For I will again give thanksto my God for his saving intervention.
