Psalmi 43

1 Sodi me, oh Bog in zagovarjaj mojo pravdo proti brezbožnemu narodu. Oh osvobodi me pred varljivim in nepravičnim človekom.

God, declare that I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong). Defend me when (ungodly people/people who do not worship you) say things against me, rescue me from people who deceive and [say things about me that are] not true.

2 Kajti ti si Bog moje moči. Zakaj me zavračaš? Zakaj hodim in žalujem zaradi sovražnikovega zatiranja?

You are God, the one who protects me; (why have you abandoned me?/it seems that you have abandoned me!) [RHQ] It does not seem right that [RHQ] I am forced to mourn/cry constantly because my enemies are cruel to me.

3 Oh pošlji svojo svetlobo in svojo resnico, naj me vodita; naj me privedeta k tvoji sveti gori in k tvojim šotorskim svetiščem.

Shine your light on me and speak your truth to me; and let them guide me, and take me back to Zion, your sacred hill [at Jerusalem], and to [your temple], where you live.

4 Potem bom stopil k Božjemu oltarju, k Bogu moje silne radosti; da, na harfo te bom hvalil, oh Bog, moj Bog.

When you do that, I will go to your altar, to [worship you], my God, who causes me to be extremely joyful. There I will praise you, the God whom I [worship], while I play my harp.

5 Zakaj si potrta, oh moja duša? In zakaj si vznemirjena znotraj mene? Upaj v Boga, kajti še bom hvalil njega, ki je zdravje mojega obličja in moj Bog.

So (why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to bless me], and I will praise him again, my God, the one who saves me.
