aVindicate me, O God, and bplead my case against an ungodly nation; 1O deliver me from cthe deceitful and unjust man!
2For You are the aGod of my strength; why have You brejected me? Why do I go cmourning 1because of the oppression of the enemy?
3O send out Your alight and Your truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your bholy hill And to Your cdwelling places.
4Then I will go to athe altar of God, To God 1my exceeding bjoy; And upon the clyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.
5aWhy are you 1in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? 2Hope in God, for I shall 3again praise Him, The 4help of my countenance and my God.
