Psalmorum 43

1 psalmus David iudica me Deus et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.

2 quia tu es Deus fortitudo mea quare me reppulisti quare tristis incedo dum adfligit me inimicus

For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?

3 emitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam ipsa me deduxerunt et adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum et in tabernacula tua

Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain, and to the place where You dwell.

4 et introibo ad altare Dei ad Deum qui laetificat iuventutem meam confitebor tibi in cithara Deus Deus meus

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.

5 quare tristis es anima mea et quare conturbas me spera in Deum quoniam adhuc; confitebor illi salutare vultus mei et; Deus meus

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
