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.

Prayer to God in Time of Trouble

43 Vindicate (A)me, O God,
And (B)plead my cause against an ungodly nation;
Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!
For You are the God of my strength;
Why do You cast me off?
(C)Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

(D)Oh, send out Your light and Your truth!
Let them lead me;
Let them bring me to (E)Your holy hill
And to Your [a]tabernacle.
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.

(F)Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The [b]help of my countenance and my God.

Panalangin sa pagliligtas.

43 Hatulan mo ako, (A)Oh Dios, at (B)ipagsanggalang mo ang aking usap laban sa masamang bansa:
Oh iligtas mo ako sa magdaraya at hindi ganap na tao.
Sapagka't ikaw ang Dios ng aking kalakasan; bakit mo ako (C)itinakuwil?
(D)Bakit ako yumayaong tumatangis dahil sa pagpighati ng kaaway?
(E)Oh suguin mo ang iyong liwanag at ang iyong katotohanan; patnubayan nawa nila ako:
Dalhin nawa nila ako sa (F)iyong banal na bundok.
At sa iyong mga tabernakulo.
Kung magkagayo'y paparoon ako sa dambana ng Dios,
Sa Dios na aking malabis na kagalakan:
At sa alpa ay pupuri ako sa iyo, Oh Dios, aking Dios.
(G)Bakit ka nanglulumo, Oh kaluluwa ko?
At bakit ka nababagabag sa loob ko?
Umasa ka sa Dios: sapagka't pupuri pa ako sa kaniya,
Na siyang kagalingan ng aking mukha, at aking Dios.
