1(43) A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: deliver me from the unjust and crafty man.
1For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.
2For you, O God, are my strength: therefore have you cast me off? and why do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses [me]?
2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
3Send forth your light and your truth: they have led me, and brought me to your holy mountain, and to your tabernacles.
3My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
4And I will go in to the altar of God, to God who gladdens my youth: I will give thanks to you on the harp, O God, my God.
4These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
5Therefore are you very sad, O my soul? and therefore do you trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to him, [who is] the health of my countenance, [and] my God.
5Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
