A prayer when you are in trouble [ a ]
43 My God, show that I am not guilty.
Make the people who do not respect you
know that I am right.
Rescue me from the evil people
who tell lies about me.
2 God, you are the safe place where I can hide.
Why have you pushed me away?
How much longer must I continue to weep,
because my enemies do cruel things to me?
3 Send to me your light and your truth.
Let them be my guide.
They will take me back to your holy mountain
and to the house where you live. [ b ]
4 Then I will go to your altar,
to worship you, the God who makes me happy.
You are my God and I will praise you there.
I will sing to thank you, God, with my harp.
5 I ask myself,
‘Why am I so sad and upset?’
I must wait patiently for God to help me.
Then I will praise my God once again,
because he is the one who saves me.
Footnotes
- 43:1 Bible students think that Psalm 43 continues from Psalm 42 as one psalm.
- 43:3 The writer prays for God to send light and truth. He believes that they will show him the way to go back to Jerusalem. That is where the holy mountain and the house of God are. The holy mountain is Mount Zion, where the temple was.
43 Defend me, God.
Argue my case against those people who don’t know you.
Protect me from those evil liars.
2 God, you are my place of safety.
Why have you turned me away?
Why must I suffer this sadness
that my enemies have brought me?
3 Send your light and your truth to guide me,
to lead me to your holy mountain, to your home.
4 I want to go to God’s altar,
to the God who makes me so very happy.
God, my God, I want to play my harp
and sing praises to you!
5 Why am I so sad?
Why am I so upset?
I tell myself, “Wait for God’s help!
You will again have a chance to praise him,
your God, the one who will save you.”
43 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
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.
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.
Prayer for Help.
43 ( A ) Vindicate me, God, and ( B ) plead my case against an ungodly nation;
[ a ] Save me from ( C ) the deceitful and unjust person!
2 For You are the ( D ) God of my strength; why have You ( E ) rejected me?

3 Send out Your ( G ) light and Your truth, they shall lead me;
They shall bring me to Your ( H ) holy hill
And to Your ( I ) dwelling places.
4 Then I will go to ( J ) the altar of God,
To God [ c ] my exceeding ( K ) joy;
And I will praise You on the ( L ) lyre, God, my God.
5 ( M ) Why are you [ d ] in despair, my soul?
And why are you restless within me?
Wait for God, for I will [ e ] again praise [ f ] Him
For the [ g ] help of His presence, my God.
