Psalms43

The psalmist appeals to God for vindication against an ungodly nation and deliverance from unjust men, questioning why God seems to have forsaken him. He prays for God's light and truth to guide him to His holy hill and tabernacles for worship. Despite his soul's despondency, he resolves to hope in God, confident that he will yet praise Him as his strength and joy.

Plea for Vindication and Deliverance

1
Judge me, O God, and defend my cause against the vnmercifull people: deliuer mee from the deceitfull and wicked man.
2
For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou put me away? why goe I so mourning, when the enemie oppresseth me?

Prayer for Light and Temple Access

3
Sende thy light and thy trueth: let them leade mee: let them bring mee vnto thine holy Mountaine and to thy Tabernacles.
4
Then wil I go vnto the altar of God, euen vnto the God of my ioy and gladnes: and vpon the harpe wil I giue thanks vnto thee, O God, my God.

Exhortation to Hope in God

5
Why art thou cast downe, my soule? and why art thou disquieted within mee? waite on God: for I will yet giue him thankes, he is my present helpe, and my God.
