Psalm 43

Vindicate me, O God,
    and plead my cause against an ungodly nation;
    deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
For You are the God of my refuge;
    why have You rejected me?
Why do I walk about mourning
    because of the oppression of the enemy?
Send out Your light and Your truth.
    Let them lead me;
let them bring me to Your holy hill,
    and to Your dwelling place.
Then I will go to the altar of God,
    to the God of my joyful gladness;
with the harp I will give thanks to You,
    O God, my God.

Why are you cast down, O my soul?
    And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
    for I will yet give Him thanks,
    the salvation of my countenance and my God.

43 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

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?

O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

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.
