1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O
deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For thou _art_ the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off?
why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them
bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy:
yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, _who is_ the
health of my countenance, and my God.
