Psalms 43

A Prayer in Times of Trouble

1 Show that I am right, God!
Defend me against everyone
    who doesn't know you;
    rescue me from each
    of those deceitful liars.
2 I run to you
    for protection.
Why have you turned me away?
    Why must enemies mistreat me
    and make me sad?

3 Send your light and your truth
    to guide me.
Let them lead me to your house
    on your sacred mountain.
4 Then 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.

5 Why 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.
