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.

Meo to, ry Andrianañahare, mañalañalaña ho ahy amy fifeheañe tsy aman-Kàkey; hahao am’ondaty mamañahy naho mengokeo.

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?

Ihe ro Andrianañaharen-kaozarako; Ino ty nifaria’o ahiko? Ino ty ibokobokoako am-pigoboñañe ao ie forekeken-drafelahy?

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.

Ahitrifo ty hazavà’o naho ty hatò’o, hiaolo, hanese ahy mb’amy vohi’o miavakey mb’eo, vaho mb’an-kivoho’o mb’eo.

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.

Le homb’an-­kitrelin’ Añahare mb’eo, mb’aman’Añahare mampinembanembañ’ ahy, vaho ho saboeko ami’ty marovany, t’i Abo-Tia, Andrianañahareko.

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.

Ino ty ­mahalonjetse azo ty fiaiko tia? inoñe ty angoihoia’o amako ao? Mitamà an’Andriaenañahare; fa mbe handriañeko, i fandrombaham-piatrefako naho Andrianañaharekoy.
