| 1 You be my judge, God, and plead my case against an unholy nation; rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man. | 1Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men. |
| 2Since you are the God who strengthens me, why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?" | 2For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression? |
| 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. | 3Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain and to the place where You dwell. |
| 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, | 4Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, 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. | 5Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God. |
