Psalmi 43

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

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

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

For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

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

Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.

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

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

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.

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Saviour, my helper, and my God.
