Set me free from 

deceitful and unjust people

God, when you hand down your decision, let it be in my favor.
Stand up for me against an ungodly nation.
Save me from those lying and sinful people.

2 You are God, my place of safety.
Why have you turned your back on me?
Why must I go around in sorrow?
Why am I beaten down by my enemies?

3 Send out your light and your truth.
Let them guide me.
Let them bring me back to your holy mountain,
to the place where you live.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God.
I will go to God. He is my joy and my delight.
God, you are my God.
I will praise you by playing the harp.

5 My spirit, why are you so sad?
Why are you so upset deep down inside me?
Put your hope in God.
Once again I will have reason to praise him.
He is my Savior and my God.
