< 詩篇 43 >
1 天主,求你為我伸冤,駁斥殘酷的人民,求你救我脫離欺詐和邪惡的人。
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: from the deceitful and unjust man do thou deliver me.
2 天主,你是我的勇力,你為什麼驅逐我?為什麼讓我在仇人的壓迫下憂傷走過?
For thou art the God of my fortress: why hast thou abandoned me? why must I walk about grieved, under the oppression of the enemy?
3 天主,求你發出您的光明和真道:引導我,帶我到您的聖山和居所。
Send thou thy light and thy truth, these shall guide me; they shall bring me unto thy holy mountain, and to thy dwellings:
4 我就要走近天主的祭台前,走近我最喜悅的天主面前。我天主!我向您彈琴頌讚。
That I may go unto the altar of God, unto God the joy of my gladness; and that I may thank thee upon the harp, O God, my God.
5 我的靈魂,你為何悲傷?為何憂苦?期望天主!我還要向天主頌禱,因為祂是我的救援,是我的天主
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet thank him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
