< Psalms 43 >
1 Judge me, 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 dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of 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 hill, and to thy tabernacles.
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: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, 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 art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health 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
