< 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 thou [art] the God of my strength: why dost thou 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 thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me to thy holy hill, and to thy 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, upon the harp will I praise thee, 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 art thou cast down, O 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 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.
