43 Judge me, O God,
and plead my case against an ungodly nation.
Rescue me from deceitful and unjust people.
You are my fortress, O God!
Why have you rejected me?
Why must I walk around in mourning
while the enemy oppresses me?
Send your light and your truth.
Let them guide me.
Let them bring me to your holy mountain
and to your dwelling place.
