Psalm 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 oppresseth 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 gladdeneth 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.
