 1  Vindicate me, O God! 
Fight for me against an ungodly nation! 
Deliver me from deceitful and evil men! 
 2  For you are the God who shelters me. 
Why do you reject me? 
Why must I walk around mourning 
because my enemies oppress me? 
 3  Reveal your light and your faithfulness! 
They will lead me, 
they will escort me back to your holy hill, 
and to the place where you live. 
 4  Then I will go to the altar of God, 
to the God who gives me ecstatic joy, 
so that I express my thanks to you, O God, my God, with a harp. 
 5  Why are you depressed, O my soul? 
Why are you upset? 
Wait for God! 
For I will again give thanks 
to my God for his saving intervention.
