Psalm 43

1 Judge for me, O God, and plead my cause! From a nation unfaithful, from a man of deceit and injustice, may You deliver me.

2 For You [are] the God of my strength. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in mourning, in the oppression of the enemy?

3 Send forth Your light and Your truth; they shall guide me; let them bring me to Your holy mountain, and to Your dwelling place!

4 And I will come to the altar of God, to God, the joy of my rejoicing; and I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Wait for God, for still I will praise Him, the salvation of my face, and my God.
