Psalms 43

 

¹ Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause

against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked.

 

² You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning,

oppressed by the enemy?

 

³ Send me your light and your faithful care,

let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.

 

⁴ Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.

 

⁵ Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God,

for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
