Psalms 43
David asks God to judge him and rescue him from his enemies, expressing his trust in God as his strength. He laments his current state of sadness and affliction, wondering why God has rejected him. Despite this, David expresses his hope in God and resolves to praise him, anticipating a return to worship at the altar. He encourages his own soul to trust in God, who is his salvation.
1A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and discern my cause from that of a nation not holy; rescue me from a man unjust and deceitful2For you are God, my strength. Why have you rejected me? And why do I walk in sadness, while the adversary afflicts me3Send forth your light and your truth. They have guided me and led me, to your holy mountain and into your tabernacles4And I will enter, up to the altar of God, to God who enlivens my youthfulness. To you, O God, my God, I will confess upon a stringed instrument5Why are you sad, my soul? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance and my God
