Then I will come to the altar of God,
to God, my greatest joy.
I will praise You with the lyre,
God, my God.

Send Your light and Your truth; let them lead me.
Let them bring me to Your holy mountain,
to Your dwelling place.

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

Vindicate me, God, and defend my cause
against an ungodly nation;
rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man.

For You are the God of my refuge.
Why have You rejected me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?
