Send out your light

1
A psalm for David. Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
2
For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
3
Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
4
And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.
5
To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
6
Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

Send out your light

1
Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
2
For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3
Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.
4
Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
5
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.
