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.

Sodi me, oh Bog in zagovarjaj mojo pravdo proti brezbožnemu narodu. Oh osvobodi me pred varljivim in nepravičnim človekom.

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?

Kajti ti si Bog moje moči. Zakaj me zavračaš? Zakaj hodim in žalujem zaradi sovražnikovega zatiranja?

3 Send thou thy light and thy truth, these shall guide me; they shall bring me unto thy holy mountain, and to thy dwellings:

Oh pošlji svojo svetlobo in svojo resnico, naj me vodita; naj me privedeta k tvoji sveti gori in k tvojim šotorskim svetiščem.

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.

Potem bom stopil k Božjemu oltarju, k Bogu moje silne radosti; da, na harfo te bom hvalil, oh Bog, moj Bog.

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.

Zakaj si potrta, oh moja duša? In zakaj si vznemirjena znotraj mene? Upaj v Boga, kajti še bom hvalil njega, ki je zdravje mojega obličja in moj Bog.
