< Psalmi 43 >
1 Tiesā mani, Dievs, un iztiesā manu tiesu pret tiem nesvētiem ļaudīm, izglāb mani no tiem viltīgiem un netaisniem.
Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,
2 Jo Tu esi mans stiprais Dievs, kāpēc Tu mani atstūmi? Kāpēc man būs staigāt noskumušam, kad ienaidnieks spaida?
For thou [art] the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?
3 Sūti Savu gaišumu un Savu patiesību, ka tie mani vada un noved uz Tavu svēto kalnu un Tavā dzīvoklī;
Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They — they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.
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!
And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, 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.
What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
