Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause Against an ungodly people, From the deceitful and unjust man Deliver me! For you are the God in whom I take refuge; Why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning Because of the oppression of the enemy? Deliver me! Send out your light and your truth; Let them lead me; Let them bring me to your holy hill And to your dwelling! Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy, And I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God! O God, my God! Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, My salvation and my God. Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, My salvation and my God My salvation and my God.
