Psalms 43

1 Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,

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 thou [art] the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

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 Thy light and Thy truth, They — they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.

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 in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, O God, my God.

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 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

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!
