| 1Vindicate me, God, and champion my cause against an unfaithful nation; rescue me from the deceitful and unjust person. | 1Declare me innocent, O God! Defend me against these ungodly people. Rescue me from these unjust liars. |
| 2For you are the God of my refuge. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about in sorrow because of the enemy's oppression? | 2For you are God, my only safe haven. Why have you tossed me aside? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? |
| 3Send your light and your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain, to your dwelling place. | 3Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live. |
| 4Then I will come to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise you with the lyre, God, my God. | 4There I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, O God, my God! |
| 5Why, my soul, are you so dejected? Why are you in such turmoil? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him, my Savior and my God. | 5Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God! |
