Psalm 43 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Prayer for Help.

Psa 43:1

Vindicate^H8199 me, God^H430, and plead^H7378 my case^H7379 against^H4480 an ungodly^H2623^H3808 nation^H1471;

[fn]Save^H6403 me from the deceitful^H4820 and unjust^H5766 person^H376!

Psa 43:2

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

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

Psa 43:3

Send^H7971 out^H7971 Your light^H216 and Your truth^H571, they shall lead^H5148 me;

They shall bring^H935 me to Your holy^H6944 hill^H2022

And to Your dwelling^H4908 places^H4908.

Psa 43:4

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

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

And I will praise^H3034 You on the lyre^H3658, God^H430, my God^H430.

Psa 43:5

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

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

Wait^H3176 for God^H430, for I will [fn]again^H5750 praise^H3034 [fn]Him

For the [fn]help^H3444 of His presence^H6440, my God^H430.
