Salme 43

1 Skaf mig Ret, o Gud, og strid for mig mod Folk, som ej kender til Mildhed, fri mig fra en falsk, uretfærdig Mand!

Be my judge, O God, supporting my cause against a nation without religion; O keep me from the false and evil man.

2 Thi du er min Tilflugts Gud, hvi har du forstødt mig? Hvorfor skal jeg vandre sorgfuld, trængt af Fjender?

You are the God of my strength; why have you put me from you? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?

3 Send dit Lys og din Sandhed, de lede mig, bringe mig til dit hellige Bjerg og til dine Boliger,

O send out your light and your true word; let them be my guide: let them take me to your holy hill, and to your tents.

4 at jeg maa komme til Guds Alter, til min Glædes Gud, juble og prise dig til Citer, Gud, min Gud!

Then I will go up to the altar of God, to the God of my joy; I will be glad and give praise to you on an instrument of music, O God, my God.

5 Hvorfor er du nedbøjet, Sjæl, hvi bruser du i mig? Bi efter Gud, thi end skal jeg takke ham, mit Aasyns Frelse og min Gud!

Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God, for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
