Psalm 43

Azmon, C.M. [E]

1. 1 Defend me, God, and plead my case
        Against a godless clan;
Deliver me from fraudulent,
        Unjust and wicked man.

2. 2 O God in Whom I refuge take,
        Why have You cast me off?
Why must I grieving walk about
        While foes oppress and scoff?

3. 3 O send Your light forth and Your truth;
        O let them lead me well
And bring me to Your holy hill,
        The place You choose to dwell.

4. 4 Then I will to God's altar go,
        To God, my boundless joy.
To render thanks to God, my God,
        The harp I will employ.

5. 5 O why, my soul, are you bowed down?
        Why so discouraged be?
Hope now in God! I'll praise Him still!
        My Help, my God is He!
