Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Darby Translation
Psalms 43
1Judge me, OGod, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unrighteous man. 2For thou art theGod of my strength: why hast thou cast me off? why go I about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 3Send out thy light and thy truth: they shall lead me, they shall bring me to thy holy mount, and unto thy habitations. 4Then will I go unto the altar ofGod, unto theGod of the gladness of my joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, OGod, myGod. 5Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope inGod; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and myGod.
