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.

Døm mig, o Gud! og udfør min Sag imod et umildt Folk; fra en falsk og uretfærdig Mand udfri mig!

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.

Thi du er min Styrkes Gud, hvorfor har du forkastet mig? Hvorfor skal jeg gaa i Sørgeklæder, idet Fjenden trænger mig?

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.

Send dit Lys og din Sandhed, at de maa ledsage mig, at de maa føre mig til dit hellige Bjerg og til dine Boliger;

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.

og at jeg maa indgaa til Guds Alter, til Gud, som er min Fryd og Glæde, og takke dig paa Harpe, o Gud, min Gud!

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.

Hvorfor nedbøjer du dig, min Sjæl? og hvorfor bruser du i mit Indre? Bi efter Gud; thi jeg skal endnu takke ham, mit Ansigts Frelse og min Gud.
