1Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
