| 43:1 | Prayer to God in Time of Trouble Vindicate me, O God, And plead my cause against an ungodly nation; Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man! |
| 43:2 | For You are the God of my strength; Why do You cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? |
| 43:3 | Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle. |
| 43:4 | Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And on the harp I will praise You, O God, my God. |
| 43:5 | Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. |
