Psalm

43 Judge me,+ O God,

And do conduct my legal case+ against a nation not loyal.*

From the man of deception and unrighteousness may you provide me with escape.+

 2 For you are the God of my fortress.+

Why have you cast me off?

Why do I walk about sad because of the oppression by the enemy?+

 3 Send out your light and your truth.+

May these themselves lead me.*+

May they bring me to your holy mountain and to your grand tabernacle.+

 4 And I will come to the altar of God,+

To God,* my exultant rejoicing.+

And I will laud you on the harp, O God, my God.*+

 5 Why are you in despair, O my soul,+

And why are you boisterous within me?

Wait for God,+

For I shall yet laud him as the grand salvation of my person and as my God.+
