1. Vindicate me, O God,And plead my cause against an ungodly nation;Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!
2. For You are the God of my strength;Why do You cast me off?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3. Oh, send out Your light and Your truth!Let them lead me;Let them bring me to Your holy hillAnd to Your tabernacle.
4. Then I will go to the altar of God,To God my exceeding joy;And on the harp I will praise You,O God, my God.
5. Why are you cast down, O my soul?And why are you disquieted within me?Hope in God;For I shall yet praise Him,The help of my countenance and my God.
