Psalms 43

Open Word Bible

Give judgment for me, God, and take up my case against a nation without loyalty; save me from people who lie and do wrong. For you are God, my fortress. Why have you pushed me away? Why do I walk about dressed in grief while the enemy presses me hard? Let your light and your truth go out to guide me; may they lead me up to your holy mountain, to the place where you live. Then I will come up to God’s altar, to God, who is my gladness and my joy, and with the lyre I will give you thanks, God, my God. Why are you bent so low, my soul? Why this unrest inside me? Wait for God in hope; I will give him thanks again, the one who saves me, my God.
