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.”

Psalms 43
43
A Prayer for Rescue
1Judge me, O God, and plead my case
against#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.
