Psalm 43:1-3
EasyEnglish Bible

A prayer when you are in trouble[a]

43 My God, show that I am not guilty.
Make the people who do not respect you
    know that I am right.
Rescue me from the evil people
    who tell lies about me.
2 God, you are the safe place where I can hide.
    Why have you pushed me away?
How much longer must I continue to weep,
    because my enemies do cruel things to me?
3 Send to me your light and your truth.
    Let them be my guide.
They will take me back to your holy mountain
    and to the house where you live.[b]
