Psalm 43
1Judge me, O God,
and plead my case against an ungodly nation.
Rescue me from deceitful and unjust people.
2You are my fortress, O God!
Why have you rejected me?
Why must I walk around in mourning
while the enemy oppresses me?
3Send your light and your truth.
Let them guide me.
Let them bring me to your holy mountain
and to your dwelling place.
4Then let me go to the altar of God, to God my ⌞highest⌟ joy,
and I will give thanks to you on the lyre, O God, my God.
5Why are you discouraged, my soul?
Why are you so restless?
Put your hope in God,
because I will still praise him.
He is my savior and my God.

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.
