| 1Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me! | 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 in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about 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?" |
| 3Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! | 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 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 are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation 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. |
