Psalms 43

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.	1 Grant me justice, God; defend me from a faithless people; from the deceitful and unjust rescue me.
2 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?	2 You, God, are my strength. Why then do you spurn me? Why must I go about mourning, with the enemy oppressing me?
3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.	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,
4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.	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.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.	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.
