A Prayer in a Time of Trouble

1VINDICATE me, O God,
and defend my cause against an ungodly nation.

Deliver me from deceitful and unjust men! 2 You are the God of my strength.
Why have You cast me off? Why must I go about mournfully,
because I am oppressed by my enemies? 3 Send forth Your light and Your truth;
let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy mountain,
to the place where You dwell. 4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God, my greatest joy. With the harp I will praise You,
O God, my God.   5 Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me? Place your hope in God,
for I will yet praise Him, my Saviour, and my God.
