¹Judge me, O God,

And defend my case against a graceless people.

Deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

²But you, O God, who are my stronghold,

Why are you averse to me?

Why do I go about dejectedly

In the oppression of the enemy?

³Send your light and your truth.

They will lead me;

Let them bring me to your holy mountain

And to your dwelling places,

⁴And I will go to the altar of God

– To the God of my joyous happiness.

And I will praise you with the harp,

O God my God.

⁵How you have been brought low, my spirit.

And have agitated me!

Await God,

For I will still praise him,

For the acts of salvation before me

And for being my God.
