1 Judge me, O °ElohimGod, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unrighteous man.

2 For thou art the °ElohimGod 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 °ElohimGod, unto the *ElGod of the gladness of my joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O °ElohimGod, my °ElohimGod.

5 Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in °ElohimGod; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my °ElohimGod.
