Psalms 43

1 Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,

Oh Nzambe, longisa ngai mpe lobela ngai liboso ya ekolo oyo etosaka makambo na Yo te; kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bakosi mpe ya bato mabe.

2 For thou [art] the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

Nzambe, Yo nde ozali ndako na ngai, oyo batonga makasi; mpo na nini osundoli ngai? Mpo na nini nasengeli kotambola na pasi boye, na se ya minyoko ya monguna?

3 Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They — they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.

Tinda mwinda mpe solo na Yo mpo ete ekamba mpe emema ngai na ngomba na Yo ya bule epai wapi ovandaka;

4 And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, O God, my God.

bongo nakokende na etumbelo epai ya Nzambe, esengo mpe bomengo na ngai. Oh Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo na lindanda.

5 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

Oh molimo na ngai, mpo na nini olembi boye? Mpo na nini ozali komitungisa kati na ngai? Tia elikya na yo kati na Nzambe, pamba te nakosanzola Ye lisusu, Mobikisi mpe Nzambe na ngai.
