שָׁפְטֵנִי. הַקְּמֵנִי:
Avenge me Heb. שפטני, lit. judge me.
מִגּוֹי לֹא חָסִיד. הוּא אֱדוֹם, שֶׁגָּר בֵּין שְׁנֵי צַדִּיקִים וְלֹא לָמַד מִמַּעֲשֵׂיהֶם (סנהדרין לט:):
against an unkind nation That is Ishmael, who dwelt between two righteous men [Abraham and Isaac] and did not learn from their deeds.
שְׁלַח אוֹרְךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ. מֶלֶךְ הַמָּשִׁיחַ שֶׁנִּדְמָה לְאוֹר, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהלים קלב:יז) ״עָרַכְתִּי נֵר לִמְשִׁיחִי״, וְאֵלִיָּהוּ הַנָּבִיא שֶׁהוּא אֲמִתִּי, נָבִיא נֶאֱמָן:
Send Your light and Your truth The King Messiah, who is compared to light, as it is stated (below 132:17): “I have set up a lamp for my anointed,” and Elijah the prophet, who is true, a faithful prophet.
יַנְחוּנִי. מִינְטְרוֹ״נְט מוֹ״י בְּלַעַ״ז:
that they may lead me Heb. ינחוני, menoront moi in old French, they shall lead me.
אֶל אֵל. אֶל הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא שֶׁהוּא שִׂמְחַת גִּילִי:
to the God To the Holy One, blessed be He, who is the joy of my exultation.
וְאוֹדְךָ בְכִנּוֹר. עַל שֶׁהוֹצֵאתַנִי:
and I will thank You with a lyre because You took me out of my exile.
