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.

Ka nuna ni marar laifi ne, ya Allah, ka kuma nemi hakkina a kan al’ummai marasa sanin Allah. Ka kuɓutar da ni daga masu ruɗu da mugayen mutane.

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.

Kai ne Allah mafakata. Me ya sa ka ƙi ni? Me zai sa in yi ta yawo ina makoki, a danne a hannun abokin gāba?

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.

Ka aiko da haskenka da gaskiyarka, bari su bishe ni bari su kawo ni ga dutsenka mai tsarki, zuwa wurin da kake zama.

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.

Sa’an nan zan tafi bagaden Allah, ga Allah, farin cikina da murnata. Zan yabe ka da garaya, Ya Allah, Allahna.

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.

Me ya sa kake baƙin ciki, ya raina? Me ya sa ka damu a cikina? Ka dogara ga Allah, gama zai sāke yabe shi, Mai Cetona da Allahna.
