1 Faze-me justiça, ó Deus, e pleiteia a minha causa

contra a nação contenciosa;

livra-me do homem fraudulento e injusto.

2 Pois tu és o Deus da minha fortaleza.

Por que me rejeitas?

Por que hei de andar eu lamentando

sob a opressão dos meus inimigos?

3 Envia a tua luz e a tua verdade,

para que me guiem

e me levem ao teu santo monte

e aos teus tabernáculos.

4 Então, irei ao altar de Deus,

de Deus, que é a minha grande alegria;

ao som da harpa eu te louvarei,

ó Deus, Deus meu.

5 Por que estás abatida, ó minha alma?

Por que te perturbas dentro de mim?

Espera em Deus, pois ainda o louvarei,

a ele, meu auxílio e Deus meu.

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.

1 Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful 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.

5 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
