Psalms 42

The 42nd of 150 chapters in Psalms, in The Old Testament. 6 verses. Psalm 43 in Hebrew numbering.

1A psalm for David. Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.

2For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?

3Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.

4And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.

5To 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?

6Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
