< Psalms 43 >
1 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.
Maščuj me, Bog, in prevzemi pravdo mojo; ljudstva hudobnega, moža zvijačnega in krivičnega reši me.
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?
Ker ti si Bog moči moje, zakaj bi me zamétal? zakaj bi žalujoč hodil neprestano zaradi zatiranja sovražnikovega?
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.
Pošlji luč svojo in resnico svojo, oné naj me spremljati, pripeljati naj me na goro svetosti tvoje, in v šatore tvoje.
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.
Da stopim pred oltár Božji, pred Boga mogočnega, veselje radosti moje, in te slavim sè strunami, o Bog, Bog moj.
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.
Kaj si pobita, duša moja, in kaj tako ropočeš v meni? Upaj v Boga, ker še ga bodem slavil, vso blaginjo obličja mojega in mojega Boga.
