< 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,
Maščuj me, Bog, in prevzemi pravdo mojo; ljudstva hudobnega, moža zvijačnega in krivičnega reši me.
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?
Ker ti si Bog moči moje, zakaj bi me zamétal? zakaj bi žalujoč hodil neprestano zaradi zatiranja sovražnikovega?
3 Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They — they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.
Pošlji luč svojo in resnico svojo, oné naj me spremljati, pripeljati naj me na goro svetosti tvoje, in v šatore tvoje.
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.
Da stopim pred oltár Božji, pred Boga mogočnega, veselje radosti moje, in te slavim sè strunami, o Bog, Bog moj.
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!
Kaj si pobita, duša moja, in kaj tako ropočeš v meni? Upaj v Boga, ker še ga bodem slavil, vso blaginjo obličja mojega in mojega Boga.
