^43:1 Judge me, O God and plead my cause against a profane nation. O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

    ^43:2 Because you are the God of my strength. Why have you cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

    ^43:3 O send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill and to your tabernacles. ^43:4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy and I will praise you upon the harp, O God, my God.

    ^43:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you in an uproar within me? Hope in God, because I will yet praise him, the help of my countenance and my God.
