For you are (A)the God in whom I take refuge;
    why have you (B)rejected me?
Why do I (C)go about mourning
    because of the oppression of the enemy?

(D)Send out your light and your truth;
    let them lead me;
let them bring me to your (E)holy hill
    and to your (F)dwelling!
Then I will go to the altar of God,
    to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
    O God, my God.

21 But this I call to mind,
    and (A)therefore I have hope:

22 (B)The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
    (C)his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new (D)every morning;
    (E)great is your faithfulness.
24 (F)“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
    (G)“therefore I will hope in him.”

25 The Lord is good to those who (H)wait for him,
    to the soul who seeks him.
26 (I)It is good that one should wait quietly
    for the salvation of the Lord.
