Psalm 43
Free Bible Version
Chapter overview
Psalm 43 seeks vindication from deceitful opposition and asks why rejection feels so real. Light and truth become guides back to the holy hill, where the downcast soul expects renewed worship and praise.

1God, please vindicate me! Plead my case against an unfaithful nation; save me from these wicked and dishonest people.
2For you, God, are my protection—so why have you turned your back on me? Why must I go around weeping because of the attacks of my enemies?
3Send your light and your truth so they can guide me; let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.
4I will go to God's altar, to God who makes me truly happy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
5Why am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God; I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—my God!
