Psalm 43:1-2

Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked. You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy? 

Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause 
Judges 6:31 But Joash replied to the hostile crowd around him, "Are you going to plead Baal's cause? Are you trying to save him? Whoever fights for him shall be put to death by morning! If Baal really is a god, he can defend himself when someone breaks down his altar."

Rescue me

Why have you rejected me?

Psalm 74:1  O God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
Psalm 88:14  Why, LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me?
Psalm 89:38  But you have rejected, you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one.

Why must I go about mourning

oppressed by the enemy
