\q1
|
|
\v 1 God, declare that I am innocent.
|
|
\q1 Defend me when people say things against me—those people who do not honor you!
|
|
\q2 Rescue me from people who deceive me and say things about me that are not true.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 You are God, the one who protects me;
|
|
\q2 why have you abandoned me?
|
|
\q1 It does not seem right that I should always have to be sad
|
|
\q2 because of my enemies acting cruelly toward me.
|

\q1
|
|
\v 3 Speak true words that help me to live.
|
|
\q1 Give a command that will allow me to go back to Zion, your sacred hill in Jerusalem,
|
|
\q1 and to your temple where you live.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 When you do that, I will go to your altar
|
|
\q2 to worship you, my God, who causes me to be very joyful.
|
|
\q2 There I will praise you, the God whom I worship, and I will play my harp.
|
|

\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 So why am I sad and discouraged?
|
|
\q1 I confidently expect God to bless me,
|
|
\q2 and again I will praise him,
|
|
\q2 my God, the one who saves me.
