Psalm 43:1-5 - A Prayer For Rescue

1 You be my judge, God, and plead my case against an unholy nation; rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man. 2 Since you are the God who strengthens me, why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?"

3 Send forth your light and your truth so they may guide me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain and to your dwelling places. 4 Then I will approach the altar of God, even to God in whom my joy finds its source. Then I will praise you with the lyre, God, my God,

5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will praise him once again, since his presence saves me and he is my God. To the Director: An instruction of the Sons of Korah.
