Prayer of rescue

Psalm 43 may be short--only five verses in length--it still packs a punch.

It is known as the prayer of rescue.

It starts with a plea to God, to both judge and vindicate me, rescuing me from those who are deceitful.  God is our strength, a mighty stronghold.

Our soul may be in despair, restless, and with a feeling of dread.  But hope in the Lord will lift you up against all transgressions.

Other versions of this same Psalm is set up like one is on trial against ungodly people.  God defends us, declaring us innocent of the wrongs that have been said about us through lies.
