About this illustration

This continuation of Psalm 42 centers the distinct homeward path and altar, avoiding a bodily representation of divine guidance.

Scripture basis: Psalms 43:1–5
  1. 1Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
  2. 2For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
  3. 3O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
  4. 4Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
  5. 5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
