Psalms 43

¹ Send Out Your Light and Your Truth Vindicate me, O God , and defend my cause against an ungodly people , from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me!

² For you are the God in whom I take refuge ; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy ?

³ Send out your light and your truth ; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling !

⁴ Then I will go to the altar of God , to God my exceeding joy , and I will praise you with the lyre , O God , my God .

⁵ Why are you cast down , O my soul , and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God ; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God .

¹ Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked.

² You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?

³ Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.

⁴ Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.

⁵ Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

¹ Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation : O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

² 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?

³ O send out thy light and thy truth : let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

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? 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. Psalm 42 Books Psalm 44
