< Psalms 43 >
1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against a faithless nation. Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
Deklare m inosan, O Bondye mwen! Plede ka mwen kont yon nasyon enfidèl. O delivre mwen soti nan men a lezòm mantè e enjis yo!
2 For you, God, are my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Paske Ou se Bondye fòs mwen an. Poukisa Ou rejte m? Poukisa mwen fè dèy akoz opresyon a lènmi an?
3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain, To your tents.
Voye limyè Ou deyò avèk verite Ou; kite yo mennen mwen. Kite yo mennen m nan mòn sen Ou an ak kote Ou abite yo.
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.
Konsa, mwen va ale vè lotèl Bondye a, Bondye lajwa m ki depase limit lan. Konsa, sou gita a, mwen va bay Ou lwanj, O Bondye, Bondye mwen an.
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.
Poukisa ou nan dezespwa, O nanm mwen? E poukisa ou twouble anndan m? Mete espwa ou nan Bondye! Paske m ap louwe Li ankò: O sove m, soutyen mwen an, ak Bondye m.
