Psalms 43

1 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause, Against a nation, without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity, wilt thou deliver me?

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, thou, art my defending God—Wherefore hast thou rejected me? Wherefore in gloom should I wander, because of 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 thy light and thy faithfulness, Let, them, lead me, Let them bring me into thy holy mountain, and into thy habitations:

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 That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy, —That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God—mine own 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 shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me, Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence, 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.
