The Prayer of Someone in Exile (A)

43 O God, declare me innocent,
    and defend my cause against the ungodly;
    deliver me from lying and evil people!
You are my protector;
    why have you abandoned me?
Why must I go on suffering
    from the cruelty of my enemies?

Send your light and your truth;
    may they lead me
    and bring me back to Zion, your sacred hill,[a]
    and to your Temple, where you live.
