Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Judge me, O God, and defend my cause against the vnmercifull people: deliuer mee from the deceitfull and wicked man.

2 For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou put me away? why goe I so mourning, when the enemie oppresseth me?

3 Sende thy light and thy trueth: let them leade mee: let them bring mee vnto thine holy Mountaine and to thy Tabernacles.

4 Then wil I go vnto the altar of God, euen vnto the God of my ioy and gladnes: and vpon the harpe wil I giue thanks vnto thee, O God, my God.

5 Why art thou cast downe, my soule? and why art thou disquieted within mee? waite on God: for I will yet giue him thankes, he is my present helpe, 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).
