1God, defend me. Argue my case against those who don't follow you. Save me from liars and those who do evil.
2God, you are my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why am I sad and troubled by my enemies?
3Send me your light and truth to guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to where you live.
4Then I will go to the altar of God, to God who is my joy and happiness. I will praise you with a harp, God, my God.
5Why am I so sad? Why am I so upset? and keep praising him, my Savior and my God.
