Psalms 43:1-5 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. Show that I am right, God!Defend me against everyonewho doesn't know you;rescue me from eachof those deceitful liars.

2. I run to youfor protection.Why have you turned me away?Why must enemies ill-treat meand make me sad?

3. Send your light and your truthto guide me.Let them lead me to your houseon your sacred mountain.

4. Then I will worshipat your altar because youmake me joyful.You are my God,and I will praise you.Yes, I will praise youas I play my harp.

5. Why am I discouraged?Why am I restless?I trust you!And I will praise you againbecause you help me,and you are my God.
