Psalms 42
1 A Psalm of David.
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: deliver me
from the unjust and crafty man.
2 For thou, O God, art my strength:
wherefore hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sad of countenance, while the
enemy oppresses me?
3 Send forth thy light and thy truth:
they have led me, and brought me to thy holy mountain, and to thy tabernacles.
4 And I will go in to the altar of
God, to God who gladdens my youth: I will give thanks to thee on the harp, O
God, my God.
5 Wherefore art thou very sad, O my
soul? and wherefore dost thou trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks
to him, who is the health of my countenance,
and my God.
