O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue
me from deceitful and wicked men. You are God my stronghold.
Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy? Send forth your light and your
truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy
mountain, to the place where you dwell. Then will I go to
the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will
praise you with the harp, O God, my God. Why are you
downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your
hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my
God.
