1901 American Standard Version (ASV)

Psalms 43

1 David, praying to be restored to the Temple, promiseth to serve God joyfully. 5 He encourageth his soul to trust in God.

 43:1 ¶ Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

 43:2 For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

 43:3 Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me: Let them bring me unto thy holy hill, And to thy tabernacles.

 43:4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, Unto God my exceeding joy; And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.

 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, [Who is] the help of my countenance, and my God.
