Psalm 43 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Give^H8199 justice^H8199 to me, O God^H430, and plead^H7378 my case^H7379 against^H4480 an unholy^H2623^H3808 nation^H1471;

[fn]Oh protect^H6403 me from the deceitful^H4820 and unrighteous^H5766 man^H376!

For You are the God^H430 of my strength^H4581; why^H4100 have You rejected^H2186 me?

Why^H4100 do I go^H1980 mourning^H6937 [fn]because of the oppression^H3906 of the enemy^H340?

Oh send^H7971 out^H7971 Your light^H216 and Your truth^H571, let them lead^H5148 me;

Let them bring^H935 me to Your holy^H6944 mountain^H2022

And to Your dwelling^H4908 places^H4908.

Then I will go^H935 to the altar^H4196 of God^H430,

To God^H410 [fn]my exceeding^H8057 joy^H1524;

And upon the lyre^H3658 I shall praise^H3034 You, O God^H430, my God^H430.

Why^H4100 are you [fn]in despair^H7817, O my soul^H5315?

And why^H4100 are^H1993 you disturbed^H1993 within^H5921 me?

Wait^H3176 for God^H430, for I shall still^H5750 praise^H3034 Him,

The salvation^H3444 of my presence^H6440 and my God^H430.

Or May You

Or while the enemy oppresses

Lit the gladness of my joy

Or sunk down
