Psalms 42
A psalm for David.
-
1 Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
-
2 For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
-
3 Sent forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
-
4 And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.
-
5 To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
-
6 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
