1Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!
1神啊，求你伸我的冤，向不虔誠的國為我辨屈；求你救我脫離詭詐不義的人。
2For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
2因為你是賜我力量的神，為何丟棄我呢？我為何因仇敵的欺壓時常哀痛呢？
3O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your dwelling places.
3求你發出你的亮光和真實，好引導我，帶我到你的聖山，到你的居所！
4Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.
4我就走到神的祭壇，到我最喜樂的神那裡。神啊，我的 神，我要彈琴稱讚你！
5Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
5我的心哪，你為何憂悶？為何在我裡面煩躁？應當仰望神，因我還要稱讚他。他是我臉上的光榮（原文是幫助），是我的 神。
