Psalm 43

Abraham Coles

2 Thou who art my Strength, O why
Dost Thou cast me off and spurn?
Why, oppressed by foes, go I
Mourning, waiting Thy return?

3 Send out now Thy light and truth!
They shall guide me, they shall bring
To Thy Holy Hill, in sooth,
Where I'll lay thank-offering

4 On Thine altar. For relief
From my tribulation sharp,
For great joy succeeding grief,
I will praise Thee on the harp.

5 Why art thou cast down, my soul?
Why this tossing, sick unrest?
Hope in God, and Him extol
Who the health is of thy breast.
