Psalms 43
A Prayer for Rescue
1Judge me, O God, and plead my caseagainst ▼
▼Or “because of”
an unfaithful ▼▼Or “disloyal”
nation.From a man of deceit and wickedness rescue me,
2because you are the God of my refuge.
Why have you rejected me?
Why must I go about mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?
3Send your light and your truth;
they shall lead ▼
▼Or “let them lead”
me.They shall bring me to ⌞your holy mountain⌟ ▼
▼Literally “the mountain of your holiness”
and to your dwelling places.
4Then ▼
▼Or “And”
I will go to the altar of God,to God, ⌞my surpassing joy⌟, ▼
▼Literally “the joy of my gladness”
and I will praise you with lyre,
O God, my God.
5Why are you ⌞in despair⌟, ▼
▼Literally “bowed down”
O my soul?And why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God, because I will again praise him,
⌞my salvation⌟ ▼
▼Hebrew “the salvation of my face”
and my God.
