1 Doen aan my reg, o God, en verdedig my regsaak teen 'n onbarmhartige volk; red my van die man van bedrog en onreg!

2 Want U is die God van my toevlug; waarom verstoot U my dan? Waarom moet ek rondgaan in rougewaad deur die vyand se verdrukking?

3 Stuur u lig en u waarheid; laat die my lei; laat die my bring na u heilige berg en na u woninge,

4 dat ek kan ingaan na die altaar van God, na die God van my jubelende blydskap en U kan loof met die siter, o God, my God!

5 Wat buig jy jou neer, o my siel, en wat is jy onrustig in my? Hoop op God, want ek sal Hom nog loof -- die verlossing van my aangesig en my God!

1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:

Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

2 For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off?

Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me:

Let them bring me unto thy holy hill,

And to thy tabernacles.

4 Then will I go unto the altar of God,

Unto God my exceeding joy;

And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.

5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

And why art thou disquieted within me?

Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him,

Who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
