Psalms 43

The psalmist pleads with Elohim to vindicate him against an ungodly nation and deceitful oppressors, questioning why Elohim has cast him off amid mourning.[1][2][3] He prays for Elohim's light and truth to lead him to the holy hill and tabernacle, vowing praise at the altar, and encourages his soul to hope in Elohim.[3][4]
