< 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.
Deklare m inosan, O Bondye mwen! Plede ka mwen kont yon nasyon enfidèl. O delivre mwen soti nan men a lezòm mantè e enjis yo!
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?
Paske Ou se Bondye fòs mwen an. Poukisa Ou rejte m? Poukisa mwen fè dèy akoz opresyon a lènmi an?
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.
Voye limyè Ou deyò avèk verite Ou; kite yo mennen mwen. Kite yo mennen m nan mòn sen Ou an ak kote Ou abite yo.
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.
Konsa, mwen va ale vè lotèl Bondye a, Bondye lajwa m ki depase limit lan. Konsa, sou gita a, mwen va bay Ou lwanj, O Bondye, Bondye mwen an.
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.
Poukisa ou nan dezespwa, O nanm mwen? E poukisa ou twouble anndan m? Mete espwa ou nan Bondye! Paske m ap louwe Li ankò: O sove m, soutyen mwen an, ak Bondye m.
