Psalms 43

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

Fè m' jistis, Bondye. Defann kòz mwen kont moun sa yo ki pa konnen ou. Delivre m' anba moun sa yo k'ap bay manti, k'ap fè mechanste.

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?

Se ou ki Bondye mwen, se ou ki tout pwoteksyon mwen. Poukisa ou lage m' konsa? Poukisa pou m'ap viv ak tout lapenn sa a nan kè m', lè lènmi m' yo ap kraze m' anba pye yo?

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.

Voye limyè ou, moutre m' verite ou la. Fè yo fè m' wè chemen pou m' pran an. Fè yo mennen m' sou mòn ki apa pou ou a, nan kay kote ou rete a.

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.

Lè sa a, m'a tounen vin bò lotèl Bondye a, Bondye ki fè kè m' kontan an, Bondye k'ap fè m' fè fèt la. M'a jwe enstriman mizik pou Bondye, pou Bondye pa m' lan.

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.

Wi, men poukisa m' kagou konsa? Poukisa m'ap plenn konsa nan kè m'? M'ap mete espwa mwen nan Bondye, paske mwen gen pou m' fè lwanj li ankò. Se li k'ap delivre m', se li ki Bondye mwen.
