In context

1A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: Deliver me from the unjust and crafty man.

2For thou, O God, art my strength: wherefore hast thou cast me off? And why do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses me?

— Psalms 42:3 —

4And I will go in to the altar of God, To God who gladdens my youth: I will give thanks to thee on the harp, O God, my God.

5Wherefore art thou very sad, O my soul? and wherefore dost thou trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to him, Who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
