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,

Fè m' jistis, Bondye. Defann kòz mwen kont moun sa yo ki pa konnen ou. Delivre m' anba moun sa yo k'ap bay manti, k'ap fè mechanste.

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?

Se ou ki Bondye mwen, se ou ki tout pwoteksyon mwen. Poukisa ou lage m' konsa? Poukisa pou m'ap viv ak tout lapenn sa a nan kè m', lè lènmi m' yo ap kraze m' anba pye yo?

3 Send forth Your light and Your truth, They lead me, they bring me in, To Your holy hill, and to Your dwelling places.

Voye limyè ou, moutre m' verite ou la. Fè yo fè m' wè chemen pou m' pran an. Fè yo mennen m' sou mòn ki apa pou ou a, nan kay kote ou rete a.

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.

Lè sa a, m'a tounen vin bò lotèl Bondye a, Bondye ki fè kè m' kontan an, Bondye k'ap fè m' fè fèt la. M'a jwe enstriman mizik pou Bondye, pou Bondye pa m' lan.

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!

Wi, men poukisa m' kagou konsa? Poukisa m'ap plenn konsa nan kè m'? M'ap mete espwa mwen nan Bondye, paske mwen gen pou m' fè lwanj li ankò. Se li k'ap delivre m', se li ki Bondye mwen.
