Psalm 43

43 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation.

    Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

2 For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me?

    Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Oh, send out your light and your truth.

    Let them lead me.

    Let them bring me to your holy hill,

    to your tents.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God,

    to God, my exceeding joy.

I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

5 Why are you in despair, my soul?

    Why are you disturbed within me?

Hope in God!

    For I shall still praise him:

    my Savior, my helper, and my God.
