Psalm 43

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.

World English Bible WEB

1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

2 For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, To your tents.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, To God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, The saving help of my face, and my God.
