< Psalms 43 >
1 Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, You deliver me from a man of deceit and perverseness,
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 you [are] the God of my strength. Why have You cast me off? Why do I go up and down mourning, In the oppression of an 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 Send forth Your light and Your truth, They lead me, they bring me in, To Your holy hill, and to Your dwelling places.
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 And I go to the altar of God, To God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank You with a harp, 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 bow yourself, O my soul? And why are you troubled within me? Wait for God, for I still confess Him, The salvation 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
