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.

Skaf mig Ret, o Gud, og strid for mig mod Folk, som ej kender til Mildhed, fri mig fra en falsk, uretfærdig Mand!

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 Tilflugts Gud, hvi har du forstødt mig? Hvorfor skal jeg vandre sorgfuld, trængt af Fjender?

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, de lede mig, bringe 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.

at jeg maa komme til Guds Alter, til min Glædes Gud, juble og prise dig til Citer, 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 er du nedbøjet, Sjæl, hvi bruser du i mig? Bi efter Gud, thi end skal jeg takke ham, mit Aasyns Frelse og min Gud!
