1. Defend me, God. Argue my case against those people who don't know you. Protect me from those evil liars.
|
1. Judge H8199 me , O God H430 , and plead H7378 my cause H7379 against an ungodly H3808 H2623 nation H4480 H1471 : O deliver H6403 me from the deceitful H4820 and unjust H5766 man H4480 H376 .
|
|
2. God, you are my place of safety. Why have you turned me away? Why must I suffer this sadness that my enemies have brought me?
|
2. For H3588 thou H859 art the God H430 of my strength H4581 : why H4100 dost thou cast me off H2186 ? why H4100 go H1980 I mourning H6937 because of the oppression H3906 of the enemy H341 ?
|
|
3. Send your light and your truth to guide me, to lead me to your holy mountain, to your home.
|
3. O send out H7971 thy light H216 and thy truth H571 : let them H1992 lead H5148 me ; let them bring H935 me unto H413 thy holy H6944 hill H2022 , and to H413 thy tabernacles H4908 .

4. I want to go to God's altar, to the God who makes me so very happy. God, my God, I want to play my harp and sing praises to you!
|
4. Then will I go H935 unto H413 the altar H4196 of God H430 , unto H413 God H410 my exceeding H8057 joy H1524 : yea , upon the harp H3658 will I praise H3034 thee , O God H430 my God H430 .
|
|
5. Why am I so sad? Why am I so upset? I tell my myself, "Wait for God's help! You will again be able to praise him, your God, the one who will save you."
|
5. Why H4100 art thou cast down H7817 , O my soul H5315 ? and why H4100 art thou disquieted H1993 within H5921 me? hope H3176 in God H430 : for H3588 I shall yet H5750 praise H3034 him, who is the health H3444 of my countenance H6440 , and my God H430 .
