1. Stand by me, O God, and speak in my favor against a sinful nation. Save me from the lying and sinful man.
2. For You are the God of my strength. Why have You turned away from me? Why do I have sorrow because those who hate me come against me with power?
3. Send out Your light and Your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy hill and to the places where You live.
4. Then I will go to the altar of God, the God of my joy. And I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.
5. Why are you sad, O my soul? Why have you become troubled within me? Hope in God, for I will praise Him again, my help and my God.
