1 Judge me, O God, and plead my case against an unfaithful nation; from the deceitful and unjust man rescue me.
2 For you are the God of my strength; why have you cast me off? Why must I walk about in mourning under the oppression of the enemy?
3 Send your light and your truth; they will lead me; they will bring me to your holy mountain and to your dwellings.
4 And I will go to the altar of God, to God, the joy of my gladness, and I will thank you on the lyre, O God, my God.
5 Why are you cast down, my soul, and why do you moan within me? Wait for God, for I will yet thank him, the salvation of my face and my God.
