Psalms 43

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

שׇׁפְטֵנִי אֱלֹהִים ׀ וְרִיבָה רִיבִי מִגּוֹי לֹֽא־חָסִיד מֵאִישׁ מִרְמָה וְעַוְלָה תְפַלְּטֵֽנִי׃

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?

כִּֽי־אַתָּה ׀ אֱלֹהֵי מָֽעוּזִּי לָמָה זְנַחְתָּנִי לָֽמָּה־קֹדֵר אֶתְהַלֵּךְ בְּלַחַץ אוֹיֵֽב׃

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

שְׁלַח־אוֹרְךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ הֵמָּה יַנְחוּנִי יְבִיאוּנִי אֶל־הַֽר־קׇדְשְׁךָ וְאֶל־מִשְׁכְּנוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

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.

וְאָבוֹאָה ׀ אֶל־מִזְבַּח אֱלֹהִים אֶל־אֵל שִׂמְחַת גִּילִי וְאוֹדְךָ בְכִנּוֹר אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהָֽי׃

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.

מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי ׀ נַפְשִׁי וּֽמַה־תֶּהֱמִי עָלָי הוֹחִילִי לֵאלֹהִים כִּי־עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ יְשׁוּעֹת פָּנַי וֵאלֹהָֽי׃
