Psalms

Chapter 43

Send Out Your Light

1 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case

against an ungodly nation;

deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.

2 For You are the God of my refuge.

Why have You rejected me?

Why must I walk in sorrow

because of the enemy’s oppression?

3 Send out Your light and Your truth;

let them lead me.

Let them bring me to Your holy mountain,

and to the place where You dwell.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God,

to God, my greatest joy.

I will praise You with the harp,

O God, my God.

5 Why are you downcast, O my soul?

Why the unease within me?

Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him,

my Savior and my God.
