Psalm 42 (43)

Judge me, O Lord, and avenge my case, against an impure nation:

You shall deliver me from the unjust and crafty man.

For You are my God and my strength: why have You cast me off?

And why do I walk gloomingly, while the enemy oppresses me?

Send forth Your light and Your truth: they have led me, and brought me to Your holy mountain, and to Your dwelling.

And I will go into the altar of God, before the face of God who gladdens my youth:

I will give praise to You with the harp, O God, my God.

Why are you sad, O my soul? and why do you trouble me?

Hope in God; for I will give thanks to Him. The salvation of my face is my God.

Alleluia.
