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,

Oh Nzambe, longisa ngai mpe lobela ngai liboso ya ekolo oyo etosaka makambo na Yo te; kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bakosi mpe ya bato mabe.

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?

Nzambe, Yo nde ozali ndako na ngai, oyo batonga makasi; mpo na nini osundoli ngai? Mpo na nini nasengeli kotambola na pasi boye, na se ya minyoko ya monguna?

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

Tinda mwinda mpe solo na Yo mpo ete ekamba mpe emema ngai na ngomba na Yo ya bule epai wapi ovandaka;

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.

bongo nakokende na etumbelo epai ya Nzambe, esengo mpe bomengo na ngai. Oh Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo na lindanda.

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!

Oh molimo na ngai, mpo na nini olembi boye? Mpo na nini ozali komitungisa kati na ngai? Tia elikya na yo kati na Nzambe, pamba te nakosanzola Ye lisusu, Mobikisi mpe Nzambe na ngai.
