Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Deliver me from the wicked and the unjust.
Why have you forsaken me, O God, who is my strength? Why do I go about sadly, oppressed by the enemy?
Send me your light and your truth to guide me. Let us come to your holy mountain and to your dwelling place.
Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my great joy. O God, my God, I will praise you with the harp.
Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, the help of his countenance, my God.
