Psalm 43

Come! Vindicate me, O my God!

Against this nation plead my cause!

Deliver me from wicked foes

And hypocrites who break your laws.

You are my stronghold and my God;

Why then have you rejected me?

Why must I go about in grief,

Downtrodden by the enemy?

O send your light forth and your truth!

Let them direct me in your grace

And bring me to your holy hill,

Into your sacred dwelling-place.

Then to God’s altar I will go,

To God, my joy and my delight,

And I will praise you with the harp.

O God, you are my God of might.

Why are you downcast, O my soul?

Why are you so disturbed in me?

Trust God, for I will praise him yet;

My Saviour and my God is he.
