1Judge me , O God , and plead my cause against an ungodly nation : Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man . 2For thou art the God of my strength ; why hast thou cast me off ? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 3Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me : Let them bring me unto thy holy hill , And to thy tabernacles . 4Then will I go unto the altar of God, Unto God my exceeding joy ; And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.
Hope in God Amidst Trials
5Why art thou cast down , O my soul ? And why art thou disquieted within me ? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him , Who is the help of my countenance , and my God.
