Judge me, O God
, and plead
my cause
against an ungodly
nation
: O deliver
me from the deceitful
and unjust
man
.
For thou art the God of my strength
: why dost thou cast me off
? why go
I mourning
because of the oppression
of the enemy
?
O send out thy light
and thy truth
: let them lead
me; let them bring
me unto thy holy
hill
, and to thy tabernacles
.
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
.
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
.
