Psalm 43

Psalm 43

¹Judge me, O God, 

and plead my case against an ungodly nation. 

Rescue me from deceitful and unjust people. 

²You are my fortress, O God! 

Why have you rejected me? 

Why must I walk around in mourning 

while the enemy oppresses me? 

³Send your light and your truth. 

Let them guide me. 

Let them bring me to your holy mountain 

and to your dwelling place. 

⁴Then let me go to the altar of God, to God my ⸤highest⸥ joy, 

and I will give thanks to you on the lyre, O God, my God. 

⁵Why are you discouraged, my soul? 

Why are you so restless? 

Put your hope in God, 

because I will still praise him. 

He is my savior and my God.
