¹Vindicate me, O God,[#Ps 26:1]

and plead my cause against an ungodly people;

deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!

²For You are the God of my refuge;

why have You cast me off?

Why do I walk about mourning

because of the oppression of the enemy?

³Oh send out Your light and Your truth;

let them lead me;

let them bring me to Your holy hill

and to Your dwelling.

⁴Then I will go to the altar of God,

to God my exceeding joy,

and with the harp I will praise You,

O God, my God.

⁵Why are you cast down, O my soul?

And why are you disquieted within me?

Hope in God;

for I shall again praise Him,

my salvation and my God.
