< Psalms 43 >
1 Be Thou my judge, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
天主,求你為我伸冤,駁斥殘酷的人民,求你救我脫離欺詐和邪惡的人。
2 For Thou art the God of my strength; why hast Thou cast me off? Why go I mourning under the oppression of the enemy?
天主,你是我的勇力,你為什麼驅逐我?為什麼讓我在仇人的壓迫下憂傷走過?
3 O send out Thy light and Thy truth; let them lead me; let them bring me unto Thy holy mountain, and to Thy dwelling-places.
天主,求你發出您的光明和真道:引導我,帶我到您的聖山和居所。
4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God, my exceeding joy; and praise Thee upon the harp, O God, my God.
我就要走近天主的祭台前,走近我最喜悅的天主面前。我天主!我向您彈琴頌讚。
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
我的靈魂,你為何悲傷?為何憂苦?期望天主!我還要向天主頌禱,因為祂是我的救援,是我的天主
