Psalm 43
New Living Translation
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.

1Declare me innocent, O God! Defend me against these ungodly people. Rescue me from these unjust liars.
2For you are God, my only safe haven. Why have you tossed me aside? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies?
3Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.
4There I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, O God, my God!
5Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!
