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!

A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: deliver me from the unjust and crafty man.

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

For you, O God, are my strength: therefore have you cast me off? and why do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses [me]?

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

Send forth your light and your truth: they have led me, and brought me to your holy mountain, and to your tabernacles.

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

And I will go in to the altar of God, to God who gladdens my youth: I will give thanks to you on the harp, 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 Åsyns Frelse og min Gud!

Therefore are you very sad, O my soul? and therefore do you trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to him, [who is] the health of my countenance, [and] my God.
