Psalm 43
1 Judge me, O God[1], and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me[2] from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For thou art the God of my strength[3]: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill[4], and to thy tabernacles.[5]
4 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.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?[6] and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance,[7] and my God.[8]
