Asking God for help

Psa 43:1–5

43:1 Asking God for help

(Continuation of Song 42)

43 God, declare me to be innocent,

and defend my case against an unfaithful nation.

Deliver me from deceitful and evil people.

2 For you are the god who’s my place of safety.

Why have you rejected me?

Why do I walk around mourning because of an enemy’s oppression?

3 Send out your light and your truth—let them lead me.

Let them bring me to your sacred mountain

≈ and to your residence.

4 I will go to God’s altar—

to the god who gives me great fulfillment.

I will praise you with the harp, oh God, my god.

5 My soul, why are you bowed down?

≈ And why are you upset within me?

Put your hope in God, because I’ll thank him again—

my god’s presence leads to my being saved.
