Psalms 43
The psalmist asks God to judge and deliver him from an ungodly and deceitful person, expressing his trust in God as his strength. He laments being cast off and oppressed by the enemy, but seeks God's guidance and light to lead him to worship. The psalmist resolves to praise God at the altar, and encourages his own soul to hope in God, who is the source of his joy and salvation.
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
