1Vindicate me, O God,champion my causeagainst faithless people;rescue me from treacherous, dishonest opponents.💡

2For You are my God, my stronghold;why have You rejected me?Why must I walk in gloom,oppressed by the enemy?💡

3Send forth Your light and Your truth;they will lead me;they will bring me to Your holy mountain,to Your dwelling-place,💡

4that I may come to the altar of God,God, my delight, my joy;that I may praise You with the lyre,O God, my God.💡

5Why so downcast, my soul,why disquieted within me?Have hope in God;I will yet give praise,my ever-present help, my God.💡
