Psalm 42
|
1
O God, sustain my cause; give me redress against a race that knows no piety; save me from a treacherous foe and cruel.
2
Thou, O God, art all my strength; why hast thou cast me off? Must I go mourning, with enemies pressing me hard?
3
The light of thy presence, the fulfilment of thy promise, let these be my escort, bringing me safe to thy holy mountain, to the tabernacle where thou dwellest.
4
There I will go up to the altar of God, the giver of triumphant happiness; thou art my own God, with the harp I hymn thy praise.
5
Soul, art thou still downcast? Wilt thou never be at peace? Wait for God’s help; I will not cease to cry out in thankfulness, My champion and my God.
