Psalms 43

1 Defend me, God.
    Argue my case against those people who don't know you.
    Protect me from those evil liars.
2 God, you are my place of safety.
    Why have you turned me away?
Why must I suffer this sadness
    that my enemies have brought me?
3 Send your light and your truth to guide me,
    to lead me to your holy mountain, to your home.
4 I want to go to God's altar,
    to the God who makes me so very happy.
God, my God, I want to play my harp
    and sing praises to you!

5 Why am I so sad?
    Why am I so upset?
I tell myself, "Wait for God's help!
    You will again have a chance to praise him,
    your God, the one who will save you."
