1Vindicate me, O God!Fight for me against an ungodly nation!Deliver me from deceitful and evil men!
2For you are the God who shelters me.Why do you reject me?Why must I walk around mourningbecause my enemies oppress me?
3Reveal your light and your faithfulness!They will lead me,they will escort me back to your holy hill,and to the place where you live.
4Then I will go to the altar of God,to the God who gives me ecstatic joy,so that I express my thanks to you, O God, my God, with a harp.
5Why are you depressed, O my soul?Why are you upset?Wait for God!For I will again give thanksto my God for his saving intervention.
