Have regard, O Lord, to Thy covenant, and forsake not to the end the souls of Thy poor: arise, O Lord, and judge Thy cause, and forget not the voices of them that seek Thee.
O God, why hast Thou cast us off unto the end: why is Thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of Thy pasture?
Réspice, Dómine, in testamentum tuum et ánimas páuperum tuórum ne derelínquas in finem: exsúrge, Dómine, et júdica causam tuam, et ne obliviscáris voces quæréntium te. Ps. Ut quid, Deus, repulísti in finem: irátus est furor tuus super oves páscuæ tuæ?

The baroque interior of St. John Cantius Church in Chicago. (Image via Wikimedia Commons)Psalm 43:1-5 (Psalmi 42) This metrical version of the text was used for the music:
I will go to the altar of God, the God of my gladness and joy.
God, plead my cause and judge me the nations ’round me press:
save me from deceitful men,O send to me redress.
In you I take my refuge; why cast me off distressed?
Why must I walk mourn- fully by th’ enemy oppressed?
Send out your light, your truth, Lord; let them be guides to me;
bring me to your holy hill; To where your dwelling be.
My soul, why are you downcast and within me complain?
Wait for God, my savior and help, whom I shall praise again.
8 But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.
9 And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.
