1. Vindicate me, my God,and plead my causeagainst an unfaithful nation.Rescue me from those who aredeceitful and wicked.
2. You are God my stronghold.Why have you rejected me?Why must I go about mourning,oppressed by the enemy?
3. Send me your light and your faithful care,let them lead me;let them bring me to your holy mountain,to the place where you dwell.
4. Then I will go to the altar of God,to God, my joy and my delight.I will praise you with the lyre,O God, my God.
