< Psalms 43 >
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
Judge me, O God, and defend my cause against the vnmercifull people: deliuer mee from the deceitfull and wicked man.
2 For you are the God of my strength: why do you cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou put me away? why goe I so mourning, when the enemie oppresseth me?
3 O send out your light and your truth: let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill, and to your tabernacles.
Sende thy light and thy trueth: let them leade mee: let them bring mee vnto thine holy Mountaine and to thy Tabernacles.
4 Then will I go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy: yes, on the harp will I praise you, O God my God.
Then wil I go vnto the altar of God, euen vnto the God of my ioy and gladnes: and vpon the harpe wil I giue thanks vnto thee, O God, my God.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you 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 downe, my soule? and why art thou disquieted within mee? waite on God: for I will yet giue him thankes, he is my present helpe, and my God.
