< Psalms 43 >
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
上帝啊,求你伸我的冤, 向不虔誠的國為我辨屈; 求你救我脫離詭詐不義的人。
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?
因為你是賜我力量的上帝,為何丟棄我呢? 我為何因仇敵的欺壓時常哀痛呢?
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.
求你發出你的亮光和真實,好引導我, 帶我到你的聖山,到你的居所!
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.
我就走到上帝的祭壇, 到我最喜樂的上帝那裏。 上帝啊,我的上帝, 我要彈琴稱讚你!
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.
我的心哪,你為何憂悶? 為何在我裏面煩躁? 應當仰望上帝,因我還要稱讚他。 他是我臉上的光榮,是我的上帝。
