Psalm 43
1 Mijn God, kom alstublieft voor mij op.
Wees mijn Rechter.
Ik word beschuldigd door een volk dat U niet wil dienen.
Help me te ontsnappen aan deze mensen die liegen en bedriegen.
2 Ik vraag U om mij te beschermen.
Waarom neemt U het niet voor mij op?
Waarom maken mijn vijanden me het leven zo moeilijk?
Ik loop in zwarte kleren vanwege alle ellende.
3 Leid mij, Heer.
Uw woord is als een lamp voor mij.
Uw woord zal me naar uw heiligdom leiden,
naar uw heilige berg.
4 Dan zal ik naar uw altaar gaan.
Daar zal ik met muziek over U jubelen en juichen.
Want U bent mijn God!
5 Ik zeg tegen mezelf:
"Waarom ben je zo treurig?
Waarom ben je zo onrustig?
Vertrouw op God!
Hem zal ik prijzen.
Hij is mijn Redder, Hij is mijn God!"

and plead my cause(A)

Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
