VINDICATE me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; oh, deliver me from decietful and unjust man!

2 For You are the God of my strength; why do You cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your tabernacle.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and on the harp I will praise You, O God, my God.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God. PSALM 43
