Psalmi 43

1 Tiesā mani, Dievs, un iztiesā manu tiesu pret tiem nesvētiem ļaudīm, izglāb mani no tiem viltīgiem un netaisniem.

Right me, defend my cause against a pitiless people. From the crafty and crooked, O God, deliver me.

2 Jo Tu esi mans stiprais Dievs, kāpēc Tu mani atstūmi? Kāpēc man būs staigāt noskumušam, kad ienaidnieks spaida?

For you are God my protector: why have you cast me off? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe?

3 Sūti Savu gaišumu un Savu patiesību, ka tie mani vada un noved uz Tavu svēto kalnu un Tavā dzīvoklī;

Send forth your light and your truth, let them be my guides: to your holy hill let them bring me, to the place where you live.

4 Ka es ieeju pie Dieva altāra, pie tā stiprā Dieva, kas man par prieku un līksmību, un Tev uz koklēm pateicos, ak Dievs, mans Dievs!

Then will I go to God’s altar, to God my rejoicing; and with joy on the lyre I will praise you, O God, my God.

5 Ko tu bēdājies, mana dvēsele, un esi tik nemierīga iekš manis? Cerē uz Dievu, jo es Viņam vēl pateikšos, ka tas manam vaigam par pestīšanu un mans Dievs.

Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.
