< Psalms 43 >
1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
神よねがはくは我をさばき 情しらぬ民にむかひてわが訟をあげつらひ詭詐おほきよこしまなる人より我をたすけいだし給へ
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?
なんぢはわが力の神なり なんぞ我をすてたまひしや 何ぞわれは仇の暴虐によりてかなしみありくや
3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.
願くはなんぢの光となんぢの眞理とをはなち我をみちびきてその聖山とその帷幄とにゆかしめたまへ
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.
さらばわれ神の祭壇にゆき又わがよろこびよろこぶ神にゆかん ああ神よわが神よわれ琴をもてなんぢを讃たたへん
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.
ああわが霊魂よなんぢなんぞうなたるるや なんぞわが衷におもひみだるるや なんぢ神によりて望をいだけ 我なほわが面のたすけなるわが神をほめたたふべければなり
