詩篇 43

1 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

God, please vindicate me! Plead my case against an unfaithful nation; save me from these wicked and dishonest people.

2 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

For you, God, are my protection—so why have you turned your back on me? Why must I go around weeping because of the attacks of my enemies?

3 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

Send your light and your truth so they can guide me; let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.

4 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

I will go to God's altar, to God who makes me truly happy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

5 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

Why am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God; I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—my God!
