< Psalms 43 >
1 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.
神よねがはくは我をさばき 情しらぬ民にむかひてわが訟をあげつらひ詭詐おほきよこしまなる人より我をたすけいだし給へ
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?
なんぢはわが力の神なり なんぞ我をすてたまひしや 何ぞわれは仇の暴虐によりてかなしみありくや
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.
願くはなんぢの光となんぢの眞理とをはなち我をみちびきてその聖山とその帷幄とにゆかしめたまへ
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.
さらばわれ神の祭壇にゆき又わがよろこびよろこぶ神にゆかん ああ神よわが神よわれ琴をもてなんぢを讃たたへん
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.
ああわが霊魂よなんぢなんぞうなたるるや なんぞわが衷におもひみだるるや なんぢ神によりて望をいだけ 我なほわが面のたすけなるわが神をほめたたふべければなり
