Psalm 43:1-2
Contemporary English Version

A Prayer in Times of Trouble

1 Show that I am right, God!
Defend me against everyone
    who doesn't know you;
rescue me from each
    of those deceitful liars.
2 I run to you for protection.
Why do you turn me away?
Why must enemies mistreat me
    and make me sad?
