Psalm 43

New Century Version

43 God, defend me.
    Argue my case against those who don’t follow you.
    Save me from liars and those who do evil.
² God, you are my strength.
    Why have you rejected me?
Why am I sad
    and troubled by my enemies?
³ Send me your light and truth
    to guide me.
Let them lead me to your holy mountain,
    to where you live.
⁴ Then I will go to the altar of God,
    to God who is my joy and happiness.
I will praise you with a harp,
    God, my God.
