Chapter 43
1שׇׁפְטֵנִי אֱלֹהִים וְרִיבָה רִיבִי מִגּוֹי לֹֽא־חָסִיד מֵאִישׁ־מִרְמָה וְעַוְלָה תְפַלְּטֵֽנִיVindicate me, O God, champion my cause against faithless people; rescue me from treacherous, dishonest opponents.
2כִּי־אַתָּה אֱלֹהֵי מָעוּזִּי לָמָה זְנַחְתָּנִי לָֽמָּה־קֹדֵר אֶתְהַלֵּךְ בְּלַחַץ אוֹיֵֽבFor You are my God, my stronghold; why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in gloom, oppressed by the enemy?
3שְׁלַח־אוֹרְךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ הֵמָּה יַנְחוּנִי יְבִיאוּנִי אֶל־הַֽר־קׇדְשְׁךָ וְאֶל־מִשְׁכְּנוֹתֶֽיךָSend forth Your light and Your truth; they will lead me; they will bring me to Your holy mountain, to Your dwelling-place,
4וְאָבוֹאָה אֶל־מִזְבַּח אֱלֹהִים אֶל־אֵל שִׂמְחַת גִּילִי וְאוֹדְךָ בְכִנּוֹר אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהָֽיthat I may come to the altar of God, God, my delight, my joy; that I may praise You with the lyre, O God, my God.
5מַה־תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי נַפְשִׁי וּֽמַה־תֶּהֱמִי עָלָי הוֹחִילִי לֵאלֹהִים כִּי־עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ יְשׁוּעֹת פָּנַי וֵאלֹהָֽיWhy so downcast, my soul, why disquieted within me? Have hope in God; I will yet give praise, my ever-present help, my God.
