Psalm 43:1-5

43  Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause Against a nation without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity wilt thou deliver me?  For thou art my defending God—Wherefore hast thou rejected me? Wherefore in gloom should I wander because of the oppression of an enemy?  Send forth thy light and thy faithfulness, Let them lead me? Let them bring me into thy holy mountain and into thy habitations:  That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, mine exultant joy,—That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God—mine own God!  Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me, Wait thou for God for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence, and my God.
