Psalm 43

1. Judge me, God, and plead my cause 1 against a faithless nation. 1 Rescue me from those who deceive 1 and from those who are unjust.

2. For you are the God of my strength; 2 why have you thrust me aside? 2 Why must I go about mourning, 2 under pressure by the enemy?

3. Send out your light and your truth; 3 let them be my guide; 3 let them lead me to your holy mountain, 3 to the places where you live.

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

5. My soul, why are you so downcast? 5 Why are you groaning inside me? 5 Hope in God, since I will praise him again 5 for being my Savior and God.
