P43c. O send thy light forth and thy truth

3 O send thy light forth and thy truth;
let them be guides to me
and bring me to thine holy hill!
Even where thy dwellings be.
4 Then will I to God's altar go,
to God my chiefest joy:
yea, God, my God, thy name to praise
my harp I will employ.

5 Why art thou then cast down, my soul?
What should discourage thee?
And why with vexing thoughts art thou
disquieted in me?
Still trust in God; for him to praise
good cause I yet shall have:
he of my countenance is the health,
my God that doth me save.
