Psalms 43

1 Be my judge, O God, supporting my cause against a nation without religion; O keep me from the false and evil man.

Skaf mig Ret, o Gud, og strid for mig mod Folk, som ej kender til Mildhed, fri mig fra en falsk, uretfærdig Mand!

2 You are the God of my strength; why have you put me from you? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?

Thi du er min Tilflugts Gud, hvi har du forstødt mig? Hvorfor skal jeg vandre sorgfuld, trængt af Fjender?

3 O send out your light and your true word; let them be my guide: let them take me to your holy hill, and to your tents.

Send dit Lys og din Sandhed, de lede mig, bringe mig til dit hellige Bjerg og til dine Boliger,

4 Then I will go up to the altar of God, to the God of my joy; I will be glad and give praise to you on an instrument of music, O God, my God.

at jeg maa komme til Guds Alter, til min Glædes Gud, juble og prise dig til Citer, Gud, min Gud!

5 Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God, for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

Hvorfor er du nedbøjet, Sjæl, hvi bruser du i mig? Bi efter Gud, thi end skal jeg takke ham, mit Aasyns Frelse og min Gud!
