A prayer in times of trouble
1Show that I am right, God! Defend me against everyone who doesn't know you; rescue me from each of those deceitful liars.
2I run to you for protection. Why have you turned me away? Why must enemies ill-treat me and make me sad?
3Send your light and your truth to guide me. Let them lead me to your house on your sacred mountain.
4Then I will worship at your altar because you make me joyful. You are my God, and I will praise you. Yes, I will praise you as I play my harp.
5Why am I discouraged? Why am I restless? I trust you! And I will praise you again because you help me, and you are my God.
