Psalms 43

1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against a profane nation. O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

2 For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

For thou are the God of my strength. Why have thou cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.

O send out thy light and thy truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise thee upon the harp, O God, my God.

5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.

Why are thou cast down, O my soul? And why are thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him, the help of my countenance, and my God.
