1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unrighteous man.2 For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou cast me off? why go I about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?3 Send out thy light and thy truth: *they* shall lead me, *they* shall bring me to thy holy mount, and unto thy habitations.4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto the *God of the gladness of my joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.5 Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, {who is} the health of my countenance, and my God.

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!
