Psalmorum 43

1 Psalmus David. Judica me, Deus, et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta: ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against a profane nation. O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

2 Quia tu es, Deus, fortitudo mea: quare me repulisti? et quare tristis incedo, dum affligit me inimicus?

For thou are the God of my strength. Why have thou cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Emitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam: ipsa me deduxerunt, et adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernacula tua.

O send out thy light and thy truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

4 Et introibo ad altare Dei, ad Deum qui lætificat juventutem meam. Confitebor tibi in cithara, Deus, Deus meus.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise thee upon the harp, O God, my God.

5 Quare tristis es, anima mea? et quare conturbas me? Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei, et Deus meus.

Why are thou cast down, O my soul? And why are thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him, the help of my countenance, and my God.
