1 Vindicate me, O Elohim,
and plead my cause against a nation lo chasid;
O deliver me from the ish mirmah v'avlah
(deceitful and unjust man).
2 For Thou art the Elohei Ma'oz of me.
Why dost Thou cast me off?
Why must I go mourning
because of the oppression of the oyev?
3 O send out Thy Ohr and Thy Emes;
let them guide me;
let them bring me unto Thy Har Kodesh,
and to Thy Mishkan.
4 Then will I go unto the Mizbe'ach of Elohim,
unto El my exceeding joy;
yea, upon the kinnor will I praise Thee,
O Elohim Elohai.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my nefesh?
And why art thou disquieted within me?
Hope in Elohim; for I shall yet praise Him,
Who is the Yeshu'ot of my countenance, and Elohai.
