Psalm 43

Send Out Your Light and Your Truth

1 r Vindicate me, O God, and s defend my cause
against an ungodly people,
from t the deceitful and unjust man
deliver me!
 2 For you are u the God in whom I take refuge;
why have you v rejected me?
Why do I w go about mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 x Send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your y holy hill
and to your z dwelling!
 4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
O God, my God.

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