Then I will go to the altar of God, to the God who gives me ecstatic joy, so that I express my thanks to you, O God, my God, with a harp.

Reveal your light and your faithfulness! They will lead me, they will escort me back to your holy hill, and to the place where you live.

Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.

Vindicate me, O God! Fight for me against an ungodly nation! Deliver me from deceitful and evil men!

For you are the God who shelters me. Why do you reject me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?
