Psalms 43

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

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

2 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?

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

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

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 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.

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

5 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.

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