Psalms 43

1Judge me, OGod, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unrighteous man.

1Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

1Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,

2 For thou art theGod of my strength: why hast thou cast me off? why go I about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

2For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

2For thou <FI>art<Fi> the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

3 Send out thy light and thy truth: they shall lead me, they shall bring me to thy holy mount, and unto thy habitations.

3Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me: Let them bring me unto thy holy hill, And to thy tabernacles.

3Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They--they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.

4 Then will I go unto the altar ofGod, unto theGod of the gladness of my joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, OGod, myGod.

4Then will I go unto the altar of God, Unto God my exceeding joy; And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.

4And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, O God, my God.

5 Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope inGod; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and myGod.

5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Who isthe help of my countenance, and my God.

5What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
