Dagiti Salmo 43

1 Ukomennak, O Dios, ken ipakaasim ti kalintegak kadagiti saan a nadiosan a nasion;

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 Ta sika ti Dios ti pigsak; apay nga imbellengnak? Apay nga agdung-awak iti panangparigat dagiti kabusor?

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 O, ibaonmo ti silawmo ken ti kinapudnom; idalandak koma; ipandak koma iti nasantoan a turodmo ken iti tabernakulom.

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 Ket mapanakto iti altar ti Dios, iti Dios nga aglaplapusanan a rag-ok; ken iti arpa idaydayawkanto, O Dios, a Diosko.

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 Apay a nakadumogka, kararuak? Apay a maringgoranka iti kaunggak? Mangnamnamaka iti Dios; ta agdayawak pay kenkuana, nga isu ti tulong ken Diosko.

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.
