اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 43

١ 1 اِقْضِ لِي يَا ٱللهُ، وَخَاصِمْ مُخَاصَمَتِي مَعَ أُمَّةٍ غَيْرِ رَاحِمَةٍ، وَمِنْ إِنْسَانِ غِشٍّ وَظُلْمٍ نَجِّنِي.

God, please vindicate me! Plead my case against an unfaithful nation; save me from these wicked and dishonest people.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهُ حِصْنِي. لِمَاذَا رَفَضْتَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا أَتَمَشَّى حَزِينًا مِنْ مُضَايَقَةِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ؟

For you, God, are my protection—so why have you turned your back on me? Why must I go around weeping because of the attacks of my enemies?

٣ 3 أَرْسِلْ نُورَكَ وَحَقَّكَ، هُمَا يَهْدِيَانِنِي وَيَأْتِيَانِبِي إِلَى جَبَلِ قُدْسِكَ وَإِلَى مَسَاكِنِكَ.

Send your light and your truth so they can guide me; let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.

٤ 4 فَآتِي إِلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱللهِ، إِلَى ٱللهِ بَهْجَةِ فَرَحِي، وَأَحْمَدُكَ بِٱلْعُودِ يَا ٱللهُ إِلَهِي.

I will go to God's altar, to God who makes me truly happy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

٥ 5 لِمَاذَا أَنْتِ مُنْحَنِيَةٌ يَا نَفْسِي؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَئِنِّينَ فِيَّ؟ تَرَجَّيِ ٱللهَ، لِأَنِّي بَعْدُ أَحْمَدُهُ، خَلَاصَ وَجْهِي وَإِلَهِي.

Why am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God; I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—my God!
