1(43) A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: deliver me from the unjust and crafty man.
1As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2For you, O God, are my strength: therefore have you cast me off? and why do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses [me]?
2My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3Send forth your light and your truth: they have led me, and brought me to your holy mountain, and to your tabernacles.
3My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
4And I will go in to the altar of God, to God who gladdens my youth: I will give thanks to you on the harp, O God, my God.
4When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5Therefore are you very sad, O my soul? and therefore do you trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to him, [who is] the health of my countenance, [and] my God.
5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
