Send Out Your Light

¹ Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case

against an ungodly nation;

deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.

² For You are the God of my refuge.

Why have You rejected me?

Why must I walk in sorrow

because of the enemy’s oppression?

³ Send out Your light and Your truth;^*

let them lead me.

Let them bring me to Your holy mountain

and to the place where You dwell.

⁴ Then I will go to the altar of God,

to God, my greatest joy.

I will praise You with the harp,

O God, my God.

⁵ Why are you downcast, O my soul?

Why the unease within me?

Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him,

my Savior and my God.
