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 Elohim, and plead my cause against an wicked 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 art the Elohim of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I 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 unto 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 will I go unto the altar of Elohim, unto El my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O Elohim my Elohim.

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

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in Elohim: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my Elohim.
