Psalm 43

Psalm 43¹

Vindicate me, my God,

and plead my cause^a

against an unfaithful nation.

Rescue me^b from those who are

deceitful and wicked.^c

You are God my stronghold.

Why have you rejected^d me?

Why must I go about mourning,^e

oppressed by the enemy?^f

Send me your light^g and your faithful care,^h

let them lead me;ⁱ

let them bring me to your holy mountain,^j

to the place where you dwell.^k

Then I will go^l to the altar^m of God,

to God, my joyⁿ and my delight.^o

I will praise you with the lyre,^p

O God, my God.

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.^q
