1Judge me, O God, and defend my cause against the unmerciful people: deliver me from the deceitful and wicked man.
2For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou put me away? why go I so mourning, when the enemy oppressed me?
3Send thy light and thy truth: let them lead me: let them bring me unto thine holy Mountain, and to thy Tabernacles.
4Then will I go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of my joy and gladness: and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God my God.
5Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me: wait on God: for I will yet give him thanks, he is my present help and my God.
