| New International Version | International Standard Version |
| 1Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked. | 1 You be my judge, God, and plead my case against an unholy nation; rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man. |
| 2You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by 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?" |
| 3Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. | 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 joy and my delight. I will praise you with the lyre, 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, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior 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. |
