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.

(Los Salmos 42 y 43 eran originalmente uno solo). Dios, ¡Por favor reivindícame! Aboga por mi caso contra una nación infiel; sálvame de esa gente malvada y deshonesta.

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.

Porque tú, Dios, eres mi protección, así que, ¿Por qué me has dado la espalda? ¿Por qué debería ir por ahí llorando a causa del ataque de mis enemigos?

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.

Envía tu luz y tu verdad para que me guíen; deja que me lleven a tu monte santo, al lugar donde vives.

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.

Iré al altar de Dios, a Dios quien me hace verdaderamente feliz. Te alabaré con el arpa, Dios, mi Dios.

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.

¿Por qué estoy tan desanimado? ¿Por qué me siento tan triste? Esperaré en el Señor; le alabaré porque él es el único que me puede salvar, ¡Mi Dios!
