Psalm 43, NEW INTERNATIONAL READER’S VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

God, when you hand down your decision, let it be in my favour.
Stand up for me against an ungodly nation.
Save me from those lying and sinful people.
 

2

You are God, my place of safety.
Why have you turned your back on me?
Why must I go around in sorrow?
Why am I beaten down by my enemies?
 

3

Send out your light and your truth.
Let them guide me.
Let them bring me back to your holy mountain,
to the place where you live.
 

4

Then I will go to the altar of God.
I will go to God.  He is my joy and my delight.
God, you are my God.
I will praise you by playing the harp.
 

5

My spirit, why are you so sad?
Why are you so upset deep down inside me?
Put your hope in God.
Once again I will have reason to praise him.
He is my Saviour and my God.
