Psalm 43

New Living Translation NLT

1 Declare me innocent, O God! Defend me against these ungodly people. Rescue me from these unjust liars.

2 For you are God, my only safe haven. Why have you tossed me aside? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies?

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

4 There I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, O God, my God!

5 Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!

Common English Bible CEB

1 Establish justice for me, God! Argue my case against ungodly people! Rescue me from the dishonest and unjust!

2 Because you are my God, my protective fortress! Why have you rejected me? Why do I have to walk around, sad, oppressed by enemies?

3 Send your light and truth—those will guide me! Let them bring me to your holy mountain, to your dwelling place.

4 Let me come to God's altar— let me come to God, my joy, my delight— then I will give you thanks with the lyre, God, my God!

5 Why, I ask myself, are you so depressed? Why are you so upset inside? Hope in God! Because I will again give him thanks, my saving presence and my God.
