Psalms 43

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

Onetsani kusalakwa kwanga Inu Mulungu; ndipo mundinenere mlandu wanga kutsutsana ndi mtundu wosapembedza; mundilanditse mʼmanja mwa achinyengo ndi anthu oyipa.

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

Pajatu Inu Mulungu ndinu mphamvu zanga. Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwandikana ine? Nʼchifukwa chiyani ndiyenera kuyenda ndikulira, woponderezedwa ndi mdani?

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

Tumizani kuwunika kwanu ndi choonadi chanu kuti zinditsogolere; mulole kuti zindifikitse ku phiri lanu loyera, kumalo kumene inu mumakhala.

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.

Ndipo ndidzapita ku guwa lansembe la Mulungu, kwa Mulungu, chimwemwe changa ndi chikondwerero changa. Ndidzakutamandani ndi zeze, Inu Mulungu wanga.

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.

Nʼchifukwa chiyani uli ndi chisoni iwe moyo wanga? Nʼchifukwa chiyani wakhumudwa iwe mʼkati mwanga? Khulupirira Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamutamandabe Iye, Mpulumutsi wanga ndi Mulungu wanga.
