Psalm 43

Judge me, O Elohim,
    and plead my case against an ungodly nation.
    Rescue me from deceitful and unjust people.
You are my fortress, O Elohim!
    Why have you rejected me?
        Why must I walk around in mourning
            while the enemy oppresses me?
Send your light and your truth.
    Let them guide me.
    Let them bring me to your holy mountain
        and to your dwelling place.
Then let me go to the altar of Elohim, to God my highest joy,
    and I will give thanks to you on the lyre, O Elohim, my Elohim.

Why are you discouraged, my soul?
    Why are you so restless?
        Put your hope in Elohim,
            because I will still praise him.
                He is my savior and my Elohim.

43 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
