| Give judgment for me, O God,
and defend my cause against an ungodly people; *
deliver me from the deceitful and the wicked.
|
| 2
| For you are the God of my strength;
why have you put me from you? *
and why do I go so heavily while the enemy oppresses me?
|
| 3
| Send out your light and your truth, that they may lead
me, *
and bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling;
|
| 4
| That I may go to the altar of God,
to the God of my joy and gladness; *
and on the harp I will give thanks to you, O God my God.
|
| 5
| Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *
and why are you so disquieted within me?
|
| 6
| Put your trust in God; *
for I will yet give thanks to him,
who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
