Psalm 43:2-4
The Voice
2 You are the True God—my shelter, my protector, the one whom I lean on.
Why have You turned away from me? Rejected me?
Why must I go around, overwrought, mourning,
suffering under the weight of my enemies?
3 O my God, shine Your light and truth
to help me see clearly,
To lead me to Your holy mountain,
to Your home.
4 Then I will go to God’s altar with nothing to hide.
I will go to God, my rapture;
I will sing praises to You and play my strings,
unloading my cares, unleashing my joys, to You, God, my God.
Psalm 43:2-4
New King James Version
Psalm 43:2-4
New King James Version
2 For You are the God of my strength;
Why do You cast me off?
(A)Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 (B)Oh, send out Your light and Your truth!
Let them lead me;
Let them bring me to (C)Your holy hill
And to Your [a]tabernacle.
4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And on the harp I will praise You,
O God, my God.
