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.
