Psalm 43 (AMP)

Psalm 43

Prayer for Rescue.

1Judge and vindicate me, O God; plead my case against an ungodly nation.

O rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man!

2For You are the God of my strength [my stronghold—in whom I take refuge]; why have You rejected me?

Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3¶O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me;

Let them bring me to Your holy hill

And to Your dwelling places.

4Then I will go to the altar of God,

To God, my exceeding joy;

With the lyre I will praise You, O God, my God!

5¶Why are you in despair, O my soul?

And why are you restless and disturbed within me?

Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise Him,

The 43:5 Or saving acts of.help of my [sad] countenance and my God.
