Psalm 43
Legacy Standard Bible

Send Out Your Light and Your Truth

43 (A)Give justice to me, O God, and (B)plead my case against an unholy nation;
[a]Oh protect me from (C)the deceitful and unrighteous man!
2 For You are the (D)God of my strength; why have You (E)rejected me?
Why do I go (F)mourning [b]because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Oh send out Your (G)light and Your truth, let them lead me;
Let them bring me to Your (H)holy mountain
And to Your (I)dwelling places.
4 Then I will go to (J)the altar of God,
To God [c]my exceeding (K)joy;
And upon the (L)lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.

5 (M)Why are you [d]in despair, O my soul?
And why are you disturbed within me?
Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him,
The salvation of my presence and my God.

Psalm 43
International Standard Version

God is my Hope during Times of Trouble

43 [a]You be my judge,[b] God,
    and plead my case against an unholy nation;
        rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 Since you are the God who strengthens me,
    why have you forsaken me?
Why do I go around mourning under the enemy’s oppression?”

3 Send forth your light and your truth
    so they may guide me.
Let them bring me to your holy mountain and to your dwelling places.[c]
4 Then I will approach the altar of God,
    even to God in whom my joy finds its source.[d]
Then I will praise you with the lyre,
    God, my God,

5 Why are you in despair, my soul?
    Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God,
    because I will praise him once again,
since his presence saves me
    and he is my God.
