CHAPTER 43
Vindicate me,
O God,
and plead
my case
against an ungodly
nation;
deliver me
from deceitful
and unjust
men.
For
You
are the God
of my refuge.
Why
have You rejected me?
Why
must I walk
in sorrow
because of the enemy’s
oppression?
Send out
Your light
and Your truth;
let them
lead me.
Let them bring me
to
Your holy
mountain,
and to
the place where You dwell.
Then I will go
to
the altar
of God,
to
God,
my greatest joy.
I will praise
You with the harp,
O God,
my God.
Why
are you downcast,
O my soul?
Why
the unease
within me?
Put your hope
in God,
for
I shall yet
praise Him,
my Savior
and my God.
