Argue my case against those lying foreigners.
Protect me from those wicked people who do not follow you.
<2> God, you are my place of safety.
"Why have you turned me away?
Why must I suffer this deep sadness that comes from the cruelty of my enemies?"
<3> Send your light and your truth to guide me.
They will lead me to your holy mountain, to your home.
<4> I want to go to God's altar,
to the God who makes me so very happy.
God, my God, I want to play my harp
and sing praises to you!
<5> Why am I so sad?
Why am I so upset?
I tell myself,
"Wait for God's help!
You will have a chance to praise him again.
God will save you."
