1  ^rVindicate me, O God, and ^sdefend my cause

against an ungodly people,

from ^tthe deceitful and unjust man

deliver me!

2  For you are ^uthe God in whom I take refuge;

why have you ^vrejected me?

Why do I ^wgo about mourning

because of the oppression of the enemy?

3  ^xSend out your light and your truth;

let them lead me;

let them bring me to your ^yholy hill

and to your ^zdwelling!

4  Then I will go to the altar of God,

to God my exceeding joy,

and I will praise you with the lyre,

O God, my God.

5  ^aWhy are you cast down, O my soul,

and why are you in turmoil within me?

^bHope in God; for I shall again praise him,

my salvation and my God.

1  Oh sing to the Lord ^ya new song,

for he has done ^zmarvelous things!

His ^aright hand and his holy arm

have worked salvation for him.

2  The Lord has ^bmade known his salvation;

he has ^crevealed his righteousness in ^dthe sight of the nations.

3  He has ^eremembered his ^fsteadfast love and faithfulness

to the house of Israel.

All ^gthe ends of the earth have seen

^hthe salvation of our God.

4  ⁱMake a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;

^jbreak forth into joyous song and sing praises!

5  Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,

with the lyre and the ^ksound of melody!

6  With ^ltrumpets and the sound of ^mthe horn

ⁱmake a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!

7  ⁿLet the sea roar, and ^oall that fills it;

^othe world and those who dwell in it!

8  Let the rivers ^pclap their hands;

let ^qthe hills sing for joy together

9  before the Lord, for he comes

to ^rjudge the earth.

He will judge the world with righteousness,

and the peoples with equity.
