Psalms 43

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from those who are deceitful and unjust deliver me!

2 For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you cast me off? Why must I walk about mournfully because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 O send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help 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.
