Ψαλμοί 43

1 Κρίνόν με, Θεέ, και δίκασον την δίκην μου κατά έθνους ανοσίου· από ανθρώπου απάτης και ανομίας ελευθέρωσόν με·

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.

2 Διότι συ είσαι ο Θεός της δυνάμεώς μου· διά τι με απέβαλες; διά τι περιπατώ σκυθρωπός εκ της καταθλίψεως του εχθρού;

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.

3 Εξαπόστειλον το φως σου και την αλήθειάν σου· αυτά ας με οδηγώσιν· ας με φέρωσιν εις το όρος της αγιότητός σου και εις τα σκηνώματά σου.

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.

4 Τότε θέλω εισέλθει εις το θυσιαστήριον του Θεού, εις τον Θεόν, την ευφροσύνην της αγαλλιάσεώς μου· και θέλω σε δοξολογεί εν κιθάρα, ω Θεέ, ο Θεός μου.

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.

5 Διά τι είσαι περίλυπος, ψυχή μου; και διά τι ταράττεσαι εντός μου; έλπισον επί τον Θεόν· επειδή έτι θέλω υμνεί αυτόν· αυτός είναι η σωτηρία του προσώπου μου και ο Θεός μου.

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.
