< Psalms 43 >
1 Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, You deliver me from a man of deceit and perverseness,
2 For you [are] the God of my strength. Why have You cast me off? Why do I go up and down mourning, In the oppression of an enemy?
3 Send forth Your light and Your truth, They lead me, they bring me in, To Your holy hill, and to Your dwelling places.
4 And I go to the altar of God, To God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank You with a harp, O God, my God.
5 Why bow yourself, O my soul? And why are you troubled within me? Wait for God, for I still confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
