Read in context

Psalms 43:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

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.
