Psalms 43

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

Aw Sithaw, toenghaih amtuengsak ah, Sithaw panoek ai acaeng khaeah ka toenghaih to thui ah: aling thaih kami, kasae kaminawk ban thung hoiah na pahlong ah.

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?

Nang loe ka thacakhaih Sithaw ah na oh: tipongah nang pahnawt ving loe? Tipongah ka misa mah kai pacaekthlaek moe, palungsethaih hoiah ka oh loe?

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.

Na aanghaih hoi loktang to na patoeh ah: nihcae mah kai na caeh o haih nasoe loe, nihcae mah na ohhaih kaciim mae hoi kahni im ah na caeh haih nasoe.

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.

To tiah nahaeloe Sithaw hmaicam ohhaih ahmuen ah, kang hoehaih hoi kang hoehaih Sithaw khaeah ka caeh han: Aw Sithaw, ka Sithaw, katoeng kruekhaih hoiah nang kang pakoeh han.

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.

Aw ka hinghaih, tipongah na ngam sut loe? Tipongah ka palung thungah dawnraihaih hoiah na oh loe? Sithaw to oep ah: kai pahlongkung, ka bok ih Sithaw hoihhaih to ka pakoeh han vop.
