Psalms 43

1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

O Chineke, kpepụta m, kpechitere m ikpe m nʼebe mba na-amaghị Chineke nọ; gbapụta m site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume na ndị aghụghọ.

2 For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Ị bụ Chineke, ebe m e wusiri ike. Gịnị mere i ji jụ m? Gịnị mere m ga-eji na-ejegharị nʼiru ụjụ, nʼihi mmegbu nke onye iro?

3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.

Zipụ ìhè gị na eziokwu gị, ka ha duo m; ka ha kpọbata m nʼugwu nsọ gị, bụ ebe i bi.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

Mgbe ahụ, aga m aga nʼebe ịchụ aja Chineke, gakwuru Chineke, bụ ọṅụ m na obi ụtọ m. Aga m eji ụbọ akwara too gị, O Chineke, bụ Chineke m.

5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Saviour, my helper, and my God.

O mkpụrụobi m, gịnị mere i ji daa mba? Gịnị mere i ji na-asụ ude nʼime m? Nwee olileanya na Chineke, nʼihi na m ka ga-eto ya ọzọ, onye Nzọpụta m na Chineke m.
