Psalm 43

He praieth to be deliuered from them which conſpire againſt him, that he might ioyfully praiſe God in his holie Congregacion
1.IVdge me, ô God, & defend my cauſe againſt the vnmerciful people: deliuer me from the deceitful and wicked man.
2.For thou art the God of my ſtrēgth: why haſt thou put me awaie? why go I ſo mourning, when the enemie oppreſſeth me?
3.Send thy light and thy trueth: let them lead me: let thē bring me vnto thine holy Mountaine and to thy Tabernacles.
4.Then wil I go vnto the altar of God, euen vnto the God of my ioy & gladnes: and vpon the harpe wil I giue thankes vn to thee, ô God, my God.
5.Why art thou caſt downe, my ſoule? and why art thou diſquieted within me? waite on God: for I wil yet giue him thankes, he is my preſent helpe, and my God.
