1 Judge me, O God,

and plead my case against an ungodly nation.

Rescue me from deceitful and unjust people.

2 You are my fortress, O God!

Why have you rejected me?

Why must I walk around in mourning

while the enemy oppresses me?

3 Send your light and your truth.

Let them guide me.

Let them bring me to your holy mountain

and to your dwelling place.

4 Then let me go to the altar of God, to God my ⌞highest⌟ joy,

and I will give thanks to you on the lyre, O God, my God.

5 Why are you discouraged, my soul?

Why are you so restless?

Put your hope in God,

because I will still praise him.

He is my savior and my God.
