1 S tand by me, O God, and speak in my favor against a sinful nation. Save me from the lying and sinful man.

2 F or You are the God of my strength. Why have You turned away from me? Why do I have sorrow because those who hate me come against me with power?

3 S end out Your light and Your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy hill and to the places where You live.

4 T hen I will go to the altar of God, the God of my joy. And I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.

5 W hy are you sad, O my soul? Why have you become troubled within me? Hope in God, for I will praise Him again, my help and my God.
