PSALM 43
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Judge me, O God, and plead my cause
against th' ungodly nation;
From the unjust and crafty man,
O be thou my salvation.
2For thou the God art of my strength;
why thrusts thou me thee fro'?
For th' enemy's oppression
why do I mourning go?
3O send thy light forth and thy truth;
let them be guides to me,
And bring me to thine holy hill,
ev'n where thy dwellings be.
4Then will I to God's altar go,
to God my chiefest joy:
Yea, God, my God, thy name to praise
my harp I will employ.
5Why art thou then cast down, my soul?
what should discourage thee?
And why with vexing thoughts art thou
disquieted in me?
Still trust in God; for him to praise
good cause I yet shall have:
He of my count'nance is the health,
my God that doth me save.

Psalms 43
43
(Psalm 42 and 43 were originally one psalm.)
1God, please vindicate me! Plead my case against an unfaithful nation; save me from these wicked and dishonest people.
2For you, God, are my protection—so why have you turned your back on me? Why must I go around weeping because of the attacks of my enemies?
3Send your light and your truth so they can guide me; let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.
4I will go to God's altar, to God who makes me truly happy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
5Why am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God; I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—my God!
