v1

Judge me, O God, and plead my case against ^[Or “because of”] an unfaithful ^[Or “disloyal”] nation. From a man of deceit and wickedness rescue me,

v2

because you are the God of my refuge. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

v3

Send your light and your truth; they shall lead ^[Or “let them lead”] me. They shall bring me to your holy mountain ^[Literally “the mountain of your holiness”] and to your dwelling places.

v4

Then ^[Or “And”] I will go to the altar of God, to God, my surpassing joy, ^[Literally “the joy of my gladness”] and I will praise you with lyre, O God, my God.

v5

Why are you in despair, ^[Literally “bowed down”] O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will again praise him, my salvation ^[Hebrew “the salvation of my face”] and my God.
