Get me out of here
1Clear my name, God.Defend me against these people who ignore you.
Protect me from these liars and crooks.
2I come to you for protection,
But where’d you go, and why’d you leave me?
And answer this. Why am I stuck here
Crying over the miserable things these enemies are doing to me?
3Turn on the lights and flash me some truth.
Let them lead me out of here.
Let them take me all the way to Jerusalem’s [1] holy hill,
And to your home among us.
4I’ll go straight to the altar.
I’ll go to you, God, where I find joy in life.
I’ll grab a lyre and pluck those harp strings.
I’ll sing praises to you, God, my God.
Why am I so depressed?
5Spirit of mine, why are you depressed?Why do you make me feel so bad?
I’m hanging on to my hope in God.
I’ll have good reason to praise him again.
God hasn’t given up on me.
