☀️ Psalms 43

Psalms 43 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, To your tents.” Psalms 43 opens with these words: “Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.” The line to keep is Psalms 43:4: “Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.” Carry the word “altar” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 43:4: “Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Psalms 43? Then try this: Read “Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
