Psalms 43

1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.*43.1 ungodly: or, unmerciful*43.1 the deceitful…: Heb. a man of deceit and iniquity

2 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.*43.4 my exceeding…: Heb. the gladness of my joy

5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

祈求 神带领回国

1 　神啊！求你为我伸冤，

为我的案件向不敬虔的国申辩；

求你救我脱离诡诈和不义的人；

2 因为你是赐我力量的　神。

你为甚么弃绝我呢？

我为甚么因仇敌的压迫徘徊悲哀呢？

3 求你发出你的亮光和真理，好引导我，

带我到你的圣山，

到你的居所。

4 我就走到　神的祭坛前，

到　神、我极大的喜乐那里。

神啊！我的　神啊！

我要弹琴称赞你。

5 我的心哪！你为甚么沮丧呢？

为甚么在我里面不安呢？

应当等候　神；

因为我还要称赞他，

他是我面前的救助、我的　神。
