Schaffe mir Recht, o Gott, und führe meine Sache gegen das lieblose Volk; von den falschen und frevelhaften Leuten errette mich! Denn du bist der Gott, der meine Schutzwehr ist. Warum hast du mich verworfen? Warum muß ich trauernd einhergehen ob der Bedrückung durch Feinde? Sende dein Licht und deine Wahrheit! Die sollen mich führen, sollen mich hinbringen zu deinem heiligen Berg und zu deiner Wohnung, daß ich eingehe zum Altare Gottes, zum Gott meiner jubelnden Freude, und dich preise auf der Zither, Gott, mein Gott! Was bist du gebeugt, meine Seele, und tobst in mir? Harre auf Gott! Denn noch werde ich ihn preisen als Hilfe für mich und als meinen Gott!
Psalmen 43
