Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause

Against the deceitful man, O deliver us

For you are the God in whom I take refuge

Why have you rejected me? I walk around confused.


Chorus

Send out your light and truth

Let them lead me

Bring me to your holy hill

To your dwelling

Then I will go to the alter of God

To God, my exceeding joy

Then I will praise him with my guitar

Oh my joy, my joy


Why are you cast down low, o my soul?

Why are you cast down low, and in turmoil?

Hope in God, for I shall again praise him

Hope in God, for he is my salvation. (Chorus)
