Psalms 43

1 God, please vindicate me! Plead my case against an unfaithful nation; save me from these wicked and dishonest people.

O! Mawu, tso afia nam, eye nàʋli tanye le mawumavɔ̃lawo dome, ɖem tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kple ameblelawo ƒe asi me.

2 For you, God, are my protection—so why have you turned your back on me? Why must I go around weeping because of the attacks of my enemies?

Wòe nye Mawu, nye mɔ sesẽ. Nu ka ta nègbem ɖo? Nu ka ta manɔ yiyim, anɔ nu xam le nye futɔwo ƒe teteɖeanyi ta ɖo?

3 Send your light and your truth so they can guide me; let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.

Ɖo wò kekeli kple nyateƒe ɖa, ne woakplɔm; na woakplɔm ayi ɖe wò to kɔkɔe la dzi, afi si nènɔna.

4 I will go to God's altar, to God who makes me truly happy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

Ekema mayi ɖe Mawu ƒe vɔsamlekpui ŋgɔ, Mawu si nye nye aseyetsotso kple nye dzidzɔ. O! Mawu, nye Mawu, makafu wò kple kasaŋku.

5 Why am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God; I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—my God!

O! Nye luʋɔ, nu ka ta nèle nu xam ɖo? Nu ka ta nètsi dzodzodzoe le menye ɖo? Tsɔ wò mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe Mawu dzi, elabena magakafui, eya ame si nye nye Ɖela kple nye Mawu.
