Psalm 43

Prayer for Help.

¹Vindicate me, God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation;

Save me from the deceitful and unjust person!

²For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me?

Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

³¶Send out Your light and Your truth, they shall lead me;

They shall bring me to Your holy hill

And to Your dwelling places.

⁴Then I will go to the altar of God,

To God my exceeding joy;

And I will praise You on the lyre, God, my God.

⁵¶Why are you in despair, my soul?[#43:5 Or dissolved away]

And why are you restless within me?

Wait for God, for I will again praise Him

For the help of His presence, my God.
