Psalm 43:1–5, “Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. 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? O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. 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. 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.”

When David wrote this Psalm he felt as though the evil men were triumphing and those who trusted in the Lord were suffering shame and defeat. He asked the Lord to fight on his side against those who were deceitful and unjust. He longed to be free to go the Lord’s altar and worship, offering songs of praise to the Lord. In fact, he asked himself why he was feeling so bad because he knew that he was free to place his hope in God and then he would praise God.
