| 1Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man! | 1 You be my judge, God, and plead my case against an unholy nation; rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man. |
| 2For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? | 2Since you are the God who strengthens me, why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?" |
| 3O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your dwelling places. | 3Send forth your light and your truth so they may guide me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain and to your dwelling places. |
| 4Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God. | 4Then I will approach the altar of God, even to God in whom my joy finds its source. Then I will praise you with the lyre, God, my God, |
| 5Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. | 5Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will praise him once again, since his presence saves me and he is my God. |
