God, you are the safe place where I can hide.
    Why have you pushed me away?
How much longer must I continue to weep,
    because my enemies do cruel things to me?
Send to me your light and your truth.
    Let them be my guide.
They will take me back to your holy mountain
    and to the house where you live.[a]
Then I will go to your altar,
    to worship you, the God who makes me happy.
You are my God and I will praise you there.
    I will sing to thank you, God, with my harp.
