Psalms 43

1 God, declare that I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong). Defend me when (ungodly people/people who do not worship you) say things against me, rescue me from people who deceive and [say things about me that are] not true.

上帝啊，求你伸我的冤， 向不虔誠的國為我辨屈； 求你救我脫離詭詐不義的人。

2 You are God, the one who protects me; (why have you abandoned me?/it seems that you have abandoned me!) [RHQ] It does not seem right that [RHQ] I am forced to mourn/cry constantly because my enemies are cruel to me.

因為你是賜我力量的上帝，為何丟棄我呢？ 我為何因仇敵的欺壓時常哀痛呢？

3 Shine your light on me and speak your truth to me; and let them guide me, and take me back to Zion, your sacred hill [at Jerusalem], and to [your temple], where you live.

求你發出你的亮光和真實，好引導我， 帶我到你的聖山，到你的居所！

4 When you do that, I will go to your altar, to [worship you], my God, who causes me to be extremely joyful. There I will praise you, the God whom I [worship], while I play my harp.

我就走到上帝的祭壇， 到我最喜樂的上帝那裏。 上帝啊，我的上帝， 我要彈琴稱讚你！

5 So (why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to bless me], and I will praise him again, my God, the one who saves me.

我的心哪，你為何憂悶？ 為何在我裏面煩躁？ 應當仰望上帝，因我還要稱讚他。 他是我臉上的光榮，是我的上帝。
