Psalm 43

New International Reader’s Version

from Biblica
1 My God, when you hand down your decision, let it be in my favour. Stand up for me against an unfaithful nation. Save me from those lying and sinful people.2 You are God, my place of safety. Why have you turned your back on me? Why must I go around in sorrow? Why am I beaten down by my enemies?3 Send me your light and your faithful care. Let them lead me. Let them bring me back to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.4 Then I will go to the altar of God. I will go to God. He is my joy and my delight. God, you are my God. I will praise you by playing the lyre.5 My spirit, why are you so sad? Why are you so upset deep down inside me? Put your hope in God. Once again I will have reason to praise him. He is my Saviour and my God.

Psalm 43

New International Version

from Biblica
1 Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked.2 You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?3 Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.5 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God.

Psalm 43

English Standard Version

from Crossway
1 Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me! (1Sa 24:15; Ps 5:6; Ps 7:8; Ps 26:1)2 For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? (Ps 31:4; Ps 42:9; Ps 44:9)3 Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! (Ps 2:6; Ps 40:11; Ps 46:4; Ps 57:3; Ps 84:1)4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. (Ps 42:5; Ps 42:11)

Psalm 43

King James Version

1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.2 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Psalm 43

Lutherbibel 2017

from Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft
1 Schaffe mir Recht, Gott, / und führe meine Sache wider das treulose Volk und errette mich von den falschen und bösen Leuten!2 Denn du bist der Gott meiner Stärke: Warum hast du mich verstoßen? Warum muss ich so traurig gehen, wenn mein Feind mich drängt?3 Sende dein Licht und deine Wahrheit, dass sie mich leiten und bringen zu deinem heiligen Berg und zu deiner Wohnung,4 dass ich hineingehe zum Altar Gottes, / zu dem Gott, der meine Freude und Wonne ist, und dir, Gott, auf der Harfe danke, mein Gott.5 Was betrübst du dich, meine Seele, und bist so unruhig in mir? Harre auf Gott; denn ich werde ihm noch danken, dass er meines Angesichts Hilfe und mein Gott ist.
