Masalimo 43

1 Onetsani kusalakwa kwanga Inu Mulungu; ndipo mundinenere mlandu wanga kutsutsana ndi mtundu wosapembedza; mundilanditse mʼmanja mwa achinyengo ndi anthu oyipa.

A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and discern my cause from that of a nation not holy; rescue me from a man unjust and deceitful.

2 Pajatu Inu Mulungu ndinu mphamvu zanga. Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwandikana ine? Nʼchifukwa chiyani ndiyenera kuyenda ndikulira, woponderezedwa ndi mdani?

For you are God, my strength. Why have you rejected me? And why do I walk in sadness, while the adversary afflicts me?

3 Tumizani kuwunika kwanu ndi choonadi chanu kuti zinditsogolere; mulole kuti zindifikitse ku phiri lanu loyera, kumalo kumene inu mumakhala.

Send forth your light and your truth. They have guided me and led me, to your holy mountain and into your tabernacles.

4 Ndipo ndidzapita ku guwa lansembe la Mulungu, kwa Mulungu, chimwemwe changa ndi chikondwerero changa. Ndidzakutamandani ndi zeze, Inu Mulungu wanga.

And I will enter, up to the altar of God, to God who enlivens my youthfulness. To you, O God, my God, I will confess upon a stringed instrument.

5 Nʼchifukwa chiyani uli ndi chisoni iwe moyo wanga? Nʼchifukwa chiyani wakhumudwa iwe mʼkati mwanga? Khulupirira Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamutamandabe Iye, Mpulumutsi wanga ndi Mulungu wanga.

Why are you sad, my soul? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance and my God.
