Psalms

43 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause Against a nation without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity wilt thou deliver me?

2 For thou art my defending God—Wherefore hast thou rejected me? Wherefore in gloom should I wander because of the oppression of an enemy?

3 Send forth thy light and thy faithfulness, Let them lead me? Let them bring me into thy holy mountain and into thy habitations:

4 That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, mine exultant joy,—That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God—mine own God!

5 Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me, Wait thou for God for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence, and my God.
