1Declare me innocent, O God!Defend me against these ungodly people.Rescue me from these unjust liars.

2For you are God, my only safe haven.Why have you tossed me aside?Why must I wander around in grief,oppressed by my enemies?

3Send out your light and your truth;let them guide me.Let them lead me to your holy mountain,to the place where you live.

4There I will go to the altar of God,to God — the source of all my joy.I will praise you with my harp,O God, my God!

5Why am I discouraged?Why is my heart so sad?I will put my hope in God!I will praise him again —my Savior and my God!
