Psalms 43

1 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.

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

2 For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?

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

3 Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain, and to the place where You dwell.

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

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.

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

5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

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