Send Out Your Light

The psalmist turns to the Lord for rescue...

The psalmist turns to the Lord for rescue from his troubles, for guidance, for restoration, and for vindication.

1Vindicate me, O God, and plead my caseagainst an ungodly nation;deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.2For You are the God of my refuge.Why have You rejected me?Why must I walk in sorrowbecause of the enemy’s oppression?
3Send out Your light and Your truth;let them lead me.Let them bring me to Your holy mountainand to the place where You dwell.4Then I will go to the altar of God,to God, my greatest joy.I will praise You with the harp,O God, my God.
5Why 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.
