Psalms 43

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Grant me justice, God; defend me from a faithless people; from the deceitful and unjust rescue me.	1 A psalm for David. Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy : deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
2 You, God, are my strength. Why then do you spurn me? Why must I go about mourning, with the enemy oppressing me?	2 For thou art God my strength : why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
3 Send your light and fidelity, that they may be my guide And bring me to your holy mountain, to the place of your dwelling,	3 Send forth thy light and thy truth : they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
4 That I may come to the altar of God, to God, my joy, my delight. Then I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.	4 And I will go in to the altar of God : to God who giveth joy to my youth.
5 Why are you downcast, my soul? Why do you groan within me? Wait for God, whom I shall praise again, my savior and my God.	5 To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp : why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
	6 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him : the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
