Psalms 43

₁Show that I am right, God!

Defend me against everyone

who doesn't know you;

rescue me from each

of those deceitful liars.

₂I run to you

for protection.

Why have you turned me away?

Why must enemies ill-treat me

and make me sad?

₃Send your light and your truth

to guide me.

Let them lead me to your house

on your sacred mountain.

₄Then I will worship

at your altar because you

make me joyful.

You are my God,

and I will praise you.

Yes, I will praise you

as I play my harp.

₅Why am I discouraged?

Why am I restless?

I trust you!

And I will praise you again

because you help me,

and you are my God.
