Psalms 43
43
1Defend me, God.
Argue my case against those people who don’t know you.
Protect me from those evil liars.
2God, you are my place of safety.
Why have you turned me away?
Why must I suffer this sadness
that my enemies have brought me?
3Send your light and your truth to guide me,
to lead me to your holy mountain, to your home.
4I want to go to God’s altar,
to the God who makes me so very happy.
God, my God, I want to play my harp
and sing praises to you!
5Why am I so sad?
Why am I so upset?
I tell myself, “Wait for God’s help!
You will again have a chance to praise him,
your God, the one who will save you.”

Psalm 43
1Establish justice for me, God!
Argue my case against ungodly people!
Rescue me from the dishonest and unjust!
2Because you are my God, my protective fortress!
Why have you rejected me?
Why do I have to walk around,
sad, oppressed by enemies?
3Send your light and truth—those will guide me!
Let them bring me to your holy mountain,
to your dwelling place.
4Let me come to God’s altar—
let me come to God, my joy, my delight—
then I will give you thanks with the lyre,
God, my God!
5Why, I ask myself, are you so depressed?
Why are you so upset inside?
Hope in God!
Because I will again give him thanks,
my saving presence and my God.
