< Psalms 43 >
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unrighteous man.
Ee Mungu unihukumu, nitetee dhidi ya taifa lisilomcha Mungu, niokoe na watu wadanganyifu na waovu.
2 For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou cast me off? why go I about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Wewe ni Mungu ngome yangu. Kwa nini umenikataa? Kwa nini niendelee kuomboleza, nikiwa nimeonewa na adui?
3 Send out thy light and thy truth: they shall lead me, they shall bring me to thy holy mount, and unto thy habitations.
Tuma hima nuru yako na kweli yako na viniongoze; vinilete mpaka mlima wako mtakatifu, mpaka mahali unapoishi.
4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto the God of the gladness of my joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.
Ndipo nitakwenda madhabahuni pa Mungu, kwa Mungu, furaha yangu na shangwe yangu. Nitakusifu kwa kinubi, Ee Mungu, Mungu wangu.
5 Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
Ee nafsi yangu, kwa nini unasononeka? Kwa nini unafadhaika hivyo ndani yangu? Weka tumaini lako kwa Mungu, kwa sababu bado nitamsifu Mwokozi wangu na Mungu wangu.
