Psalms Chapter 43 (BSB)
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.

2 For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?

3 Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain, and to the place where You dwell.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.

5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Psalm 43 about?
Psalm 43 is a short plea for God to vindicate the psalmist against an unjust nation (v.1) and to 'send out thy light and thy truth' to lead him to God's holy hill (v.3), closing with the same 'cast down' refrain found in Psalm 42.
What does verse 3 ask God to send?
It asks God to 'send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles,' language of light similar to Psalms 36:9's 'in thy light shall we see light.'
How does the psalm end?
It closes exactly as Psalm 42 does, with 'Why art thou cast down, O my soul?... hope in God: for I shall yet praise him' (v.5).
