11I will say to the God of my strength,
“Why have you forgotten me? *
and why do I go so heavily while the enemy oppresses me?”

12While my bones are being broken, *
my enemies mock me to my face;

13All day long they mock me *
and say to me, “Where now is your God?”

14Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *
and why are you so disquieted within me?

15Put your trust in God; *
for I will yet give thanks to him,
who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

43Judica me, Deus

1Give judgment for me, O God,
and defend my cause against an ungodly people; *
deliver me from the deceitful and the wicked.

2For you are the God of my strength;
why have you put me from you? *
and why do I go so heavily while the enemy oppresses me?

3Send out your light and your truth, that they may lead me, *
and bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling;

4That I may go to the altar of God,
to the God of my joy and gladness; *
and on the harp I will give thanks to you, O God my God.
