1Vindicate me, God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation;
# 43.1: Or May You Save me from the deceitful and unjust person!
2For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me?
Why do I go about mourning #43.2: Or while the enemy oppressesbecause of the oppression of the enemy?
3¶Send out Your light and Your truth, they shall lead me;
They shall bring me to Your holy hill
And to Your dwelling places.
4Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God #43.4: Lit the gladness of my joymy exceeding joy;
And I will praise You on the lyre, God, my God.

And why are you restless within me?
Wait for God, for I will #43.5: Or stillagain praise #43.5: As in some ancient mss; MT Him, the help of my face and my GodHim
For the #43.5: Or saving acts ofhelp of His presence, my God.
