Psalm 43

Judge and vindicate me, O God; plead and defend my cause against an ungodly nation. O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!

For You are the God of my strength [my Stronghold—in Whom I take refuge]; why have You cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling.
