Psalms 43

1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against a faithless nation. Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

Meo to, ry Andrianañahare, mañalañalaña ho ahy amy fifeheañe tsy aman-Kàkey; hahao am’ondaty mamañahy naho mengokeo.

2 For you, God, are my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Ihe ro Andrianañaharen-kaozarako; Ino ty nifaria’o ahiko? Ino ty ibokobokoako am-pigoboñañe ao ie forekeken-drafelahy?

3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain, To your tents.

Ahitrifo ty hazavà’o naho ty hatò’o, hiaolo, hanese ahy mb’amy vohi’o miavakey mb’eo, vaho mb’an-kivoho’o mb’eo.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

Le homb’an-­kitrelin’ Añahare mb’eo, mb’aman’Añahare mampinembanembañ’ ahy, vaho ho saboeko ami’ty marovany, t’i Abo-Tia, Andrianañahareko.

5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God. For I will again give him thanks, my saving presence and my God.

Ino ty ­mahalonjetse azo ty fiaiko tia? inoñe ty angoihoia’o amako ao? Mitamà an’Andriaenañahare; fa mbe handriañeko, i fandrombaham-piatrefako naho Andrianañaharekoy.
