1. Judge me, O God and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unrighteous man.
2. For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou cast me off? why go I about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3. Send out thy light and thy truth: they shall lead me, they shall bring me to thy holy mount, and unto thy habitations.
4. Then will I go unto the altar of God unto the ·God of the gladness of my joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God
5. Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
