Psalm 43 43 Psalms Book 2 Unlocked Dynamic Bible Send Out Your Light 1 UDB God, declare that I am innocent. Defend me when people say things against me—those people who do not honor you! Rescue me from people who deceive me and say things about me that are not true. BSB BSB: Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.
2 UDB You are God, the one who protects me; why have you abandoned me? It does not seem right that I should always have to be sad because of my enemies acting cruelly toward me. BSB BSB: 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 UDB Speak true words that help me to live. Give a command that will allow me to go back to Zion, your sacred hill in Jerusalem, and to your temple where you live. BSB BSB: 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 UDB When you do that, I will go to your altar to worship you, my God, who causes me to be very joyful. There I will praise you, the God whom I worship, and I will play my harp. BSB BSB: 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.
5 UDB So why am I sad and discouraged? I confidently expect God to bless me, and again I will praise him, my God, the one who saves me. BSB BSB: Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
