New King James Version | International Standard Version |
1Vindicate me, O God, And plead my cause against an ungodly nation; Oh, 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 do You cast me off? 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?" |
3Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle. | 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 on the harp I will 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 cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet 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. |
