JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
World English Bible
1Be Thou my judge, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
1Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
2For Thou art the God of my strength; why hast Thou cast me off? Why go I mourning under the oppression of the enemy?
2For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3O send out Thy light and Thy truth; let them lead me; let them bring me unto Thy holy mountain, and to Thy dwelling-places.
3Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.
4Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God, my exceeding joy; and praise Thee upon the harp, O God, my God.
4Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
5Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.
