< Psalms 43 >
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: from the deceitful and unjust man do thou deliver me.
神よねがはくは我をさばき 情しらぬ民にむかひてわが訟をあげつらひ詭計おほきよこしまなる人より我をたすけいだし給へ
2 For thou art the God of my fortress: why hast thou abandoned me? why must I walk about grieved, under the oppression of the enemy?
なんぢはわが力の神なり なんぞ我をすてたまひしや 何ぞわれは仇の暴虐によりてかなしみありくや
3 Send thou thy light and thy truth, these shall guide me; they shall bring me unto thy holy mountain, and to thy dwellings:
願くはなんぢの光となんぢの眞理とをはなち我をみちびきてその聖山とその帷幄とにゆかしめたまへ
4 That I may go unto the altar of God, unto God the joy of my gladness; and that I may thank thee upon the harp, O God, my God.
さらばわれ神の祭壇にゆき又わがよろこびよろこぶ神にゆかん ああ神よわが神よわれ琴をもてなんぢを讃たたへん
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet thank him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
ああわが霊魂よなんぢなんぞうなたるるや なんぞわが衷におもひみだるるや なんぢ神によりて望をいだけ 我なほわが面のたすけなるわが神をほめたたふべければなり
