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

Júzgame, Dios, y defiende mi causa; líbrame de gente impía y del hombre engañador e inicuo.

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?

Tú que eres el Dios de mi fortaleza, ¿por qué me has desechado? ¿Por qué andaré yo enlutado por la opresión del enemigo?

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.

Envía tu luz y tu verdad; éstas me guiarán, me conducirán a tu santo monte y a tus moradas.

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.

Me acercaré al altar de Dios, al Dios de mi alegría y de mi gozo. Y te alabaré con el arpa, Dios, Dios mío.

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.

¿Por qué te abates, alma mía, y por qué te turbas dentro de mí? Espera en Dios, porque aún he de alabarlo, ¡salvación mía y Dios mío!
