Psalm 43

¹Establish justice for me, God!

Argue my case against ungodly people!

Rescue me from the dishonest and unjust!

²Because you are my God, my protective fortress!

Why have you rejected me?

Why do I have to walk around,

³Send your light and truth—those will guide me!

Let them bring me to your holy mountain,

⁴Let me come to God’s altar—

let me come to God, my joy, my delight—

then I will give you thanks with the lyre,

God, my God!

⁵Why, I ask myself, are you so depressed?

Why are you so upset inside?

Hope in God!
