Psalms 43:2
For You are the God of my refuge.
from Send Out Your Light, Psalms 43:1-5
What it says

Though God is his refuge, he asks why he has been cast off and left mourning under oppression.

What it is doing

This verse voices the tension between confessed faith and felt abandonment.

In context

1Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case 2For You are the God of my refuge. 3Send out Your light and Your truth; 4Then I will go to the altar of God, 5Why are you downcast, O my soul?
