Psalm 43

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Judge me, God, and plead my cause against a faithless nation. Rescue me from those who deceive and from those who are unjust.

2 For you are the God of my strength; why have you thrust me aside? Why must I go about mourning, under pressure by the enemy?

3 Send out your light and your truth; let them be my guide; let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the places where you live.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and delight; I will praise you on the lyre, God, my God.

5 My soul, why are you so downcast? Why are you groaning inside me? Hope in God, since I will praise him again for being my Savior and God.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Clear my name, God; stick up for me against these loveless, immoral people. Get me out of here, away from these lying degenerates.

2 I counted on you, God. Why did you walk out on me? Why am I pacing the floor, wringing my hands over these outrageous people?

3 Give me your lantern and compass, give me a map, So I can find my way to the sacred mountain, to the place of your presence,

4 To enter the place of worship, meet my exuberant God, Sing my thanks with a harp, magnificent God, my God.

5 Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you crying the blues? Fix my eyes on God - soon I'll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He's my God.
