1. Oh, plead my cause, my righteous God, Defend me from the foe! Rescue me from deceitful lips, From hands that work me woe. 2. Why must I walk in sorrow’s shade, Oppressed by enemy spite? Send forth Your light, Your truth to guide, And lead me through this night. 3. Let them direct me to Your hill, Where holy altars stand, To where my joy is found in You, My harp within my hand. 4. Then will I praise You, Lord, my strength, My heart no longer torn— Why so cast down, O soul of mine? In God, be still, reborn.
