Send out your light

Judge me, God, and plead my cause against a nation with no faithfulness. Deliver me from the deceit and wicked man. Because you're the God of my strength. Why have you cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill and to your tents. Then I'll go to the altar of God, to God my greatest joy; on the harp I'll praise you, God my God. Why are you down, my soul? Why are you unsettled within me? Hope in God, because I'll praise him again — my Saviour and my God.

Judge me, God, and argue my case against a nation with no faithfulness. Get me out from the cheating and wicked man. Because you're the God of my strength. Why have you thrown me off? Why do I go about mourning under the pressure of the enemy? Send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill and to where you live. Then I'll go to the altar of God, to God my great gladness. And I'll thank you with the harp, God my God. Why are you down, my soul? Why are you stirred up inside me? Hope in God. Because I'll thank him again — he's the health of my face and my God.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
