2 For thou art the God of my might. Why hast Thou rejected me? Why do I walk lamenting from the insults of the enemy?

3 Send forth thy light and thy truth; let them lead me and bring me to Thy holy mountain and to Thy mansions.

4 And I will come to the altar of God, to the God of my joy and gladness, and with the harp I will praise thee, O God, my God.

5 Why are you discouraged, O my soul, and why are you troubled? Trust in God; for I will still glorify Him, my Saviour and my God.

Psalm 43

1 To the head of the choir. Teaching. The sons of Korah.

2 O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us of the work which thou hast done in their days, in the days of old;

3 Thou hast destroyed the nations by thy hand, and hast planted them; He smote the tribes and drove them out;

4 For they did not gain the earth with their sword, nor did their arm save them, but Thy right hand, and Thy arm, and the light of Thy countenance, for Thou didst delight in them.

5 O God, my King! Thou art the same; grant salvation to Jacob.

6 With Thee we will beat our enemies with the horns; In Thy name let us trample under the feet of those who rise up against us:

7 For I do not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me;

8 but thou shalt save us from our enemies, and put to shame them that hate us.

9 In God we will glory all the day, and we will glorify your name forever.

10 But now Thou hast rejected us, and hast put us to shame, and Thou dost not go out with our armies;

11 He has put us to flight from the enemy, and those who hate us are plundering us.

12 Thou hast given us up as sheep to be devoured, and hast scattered us among the nations;

13 Thou hast sold thy people without profit, and hast not exalted their price;

14 He has given us up to be a reproach to our neighbours, to be a mockery and a reproach to them that dwell around us.

15 Thou hast made us a proverb among the nations, a nod of the head among the foreigners.

16 All day long my shame is before me, and shame covers my face
