Psalms 43
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; oh 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 Oh 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.

Psalms 44
Intro: Former favor and evils contrasted. (To the chief Musicians, for the sons of Korah, Maschil.)

1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor unto them.

4 Thou art my King, O God; command deliverances for Jacob.

5 Through thee will we push down our enemies; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
