Psalm 43 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

Send Out Your Light and Your Truth

Psa 43:1Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause
against an ungodly people,
from the deceitful and unjust man
deliver me!

Psa 43:2

Psa 43:2For you are the God in whom I take refuge;
why have you rejected me?
Why do I go about mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?

Psa 43:3

Psa 43:3Send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling!

Psa 43:4

Psa 43:4Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
O God, my God.

Psa 43:5

Psa 43:5Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.
