Psalms 43

1 Judge me, O God, and defend my cause against the vnmercifull people: deliuer mee from the deceitfull and wicked man.

Oh Nzambe, longisa ngai mpe lobela ngai liboso ya ekolo oyo etosaka makambo na Yo te; kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bakosi mpe ya bato mabe.

2 For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou put me away? why goe I so mourning, when the enemie oppresseth me?

Nzambe, Yo nde ozali ndako na ngai, oyo batonga makasi; mpo na nini osundoli ngai? Mpo na nini nasengeli kotambola na pasi boye, na se ya minyoko ya monguna?

3 Sende thy light and thy trueth: let them leade mee: let them bring mee vnto thine holy Mountaine and to thy Tabernacles.

Tinda mwinda mpe solo na Yo mpo ete ekamba mpe emema ngai na ngomba na Yo ya bule epai wapi ovandaka;

4 Then wil I go vnto the altar of God, euen vnto the God of my ioy and gladnes: and vpon the harpe wil I giue thanks vnto thee, O God, my God.

bongo nakokende na etumbelo epai ya Nzambe, esengo mpe bomengo na ngai. Oh Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo na lindanda.

5 Why art thou cast downe, my soule? and why art thou disquieted within mee? waite on God: for I will yet giue him thankes, he is my present helpe, and my God.

Oh molimo na ngai, mpo na nini olembi boye? Mpo na nini ozali komitungisa kati na ngai? Tia elikya na yo kati na Nzambe, pamba te nakosanzola Ye lisusu, Mobikisi mpe Nzambe na ngai.
