BRN
A Psalm of David.
¶ Judge me, O God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: deliver me from the unjust and crafty man.
BrLXX
Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυίδ.
¶ Κρίνον με ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ δίκασον τὴν δίκην μου, ἐξ ἔθνους οὐχ ὁσίου, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἀδίκου καὶ δολίου ῥῦσαί με.
(
psalmos tōi Dawid.
¶ Krinon me ho Theos, kai dikason taʸn dikaʸn mou, ex ethnous ouⱪ hosiou, apo anthrōpou adikou kai doliou ɽusai me. )
Pss 42–43 These psalms, like Pss 9 and 10, form a unit comprising a lament with a bittersweet refrain of hope (42:5, 11; 43:5). In many Hebrew manuscripts these two psalms are combined as one. The historical context is uncertain; these psalms might be the voice of God’s people in exile, confessing their loyalty to God as he punishes them for their prevailing apostasy. The psalmist longs for fellowship with God such as he enjoyed in Jerusalem (42:4); his memories only make him more discouraged. As the psalmist cries out to God, he recalls God’s love and faithfulness (42:8), which moves him to plead for vindication (43:1-4).
42:title The descendants of Korah were members of a Levitical choir appointed by David to serve as Temple singers (see 1 Chr 6:22-38; 9:19-34; 2 Chr 20:19). Their ancestor Korah was the apostate who had rebelled against Moses and whom the earth swallowed up (Exod 6:24; Num 16).

(Some words not found in UHB: for_the,director maskil of,sons Qoraḩ )
The author's situation in which people are oppressing him is being compared to when a deer desires streams of water to drink from because it lives in a dry, desert area. If it would be helpful to your readers, you can state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “In the same way that a deer desires a stream to drink water from because it lives in a desert, so I desire to be rescued by you, God” (See: figs-simile)
