Psalm 43
Darby Translation · 5 verses
1Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unrighteous man.2For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou cast me off? why go I about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?3Send out thy light and thy truth: they shall lead me, they shall bring me to thy holy mount, and unto thy habitations.4Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto the God of the gladness of my joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.5Why art thou cast down, 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.
Darby's Synopsis
The godly man had been going with the multitude to the house of God, but that is all over. He is driven away, and his cry is from Jordan — the land of the Hermonites, and the hill Mizar. All God's waves are gone over him. It was terrible to see an enemy in possession of the sanctuary, and the true one of Jehovah cast out and His name blasphemed.
