A Prayer for Rescue

43 Judge me, O God, and plead my case

againsta an unfaithfulb nation.

From a man of deceit and wickedness rescue me,

because you are the God of my refuge.

Why have you rejected me?

Why must I go about mourning

because of the oppression of the enemy?

Send your light and your truth;

they shall leadc me.

They shall bring me to your holy mountaind

and to your dwelling places.

Thene I will go to the altar of God,

to God, my surpassing joy,f

and I will praise you with lyre,

O God, my God.

Why are you in despair,g O my soul?

And why are you disturbed within me?

Hope in God, because I will again praise him,

my salvationh and my God.
