Psa 43:1 [fn]Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked.

Psa 43:2You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?

Psa 43:3

Psa 43:3Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.

Psa 43:4

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

Psa 43:5

Psa 43:5Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
