Psalms 43

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

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unrighteous man.

2 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?

For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou cast me off? why go I about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

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

Send out thy light and thy truth: they shall lead me, they shall bring me to thy holy mount, and unto thy habitations.

4 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.

Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto the God of the gladness of my joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.

5 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.

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