Salmos 43

1 Júzgame, o! Dios, y pleitea mi pleito: de gente no misericordiosa, de varón de engaño y de iniquidad líbrame.

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 Porque tú eres el Dios de mi fortaleza: ¿por qué me has desechado? ¿por qué andaré enlutado por la opresión del enemigo?

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 Envía tu luz, y tu verdad: estas me guiarán, traerme han al monte de tu santidad, y a tus tabernáculos.

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 Y entraré al altar de Dios, al Dios, alegría de mi gozo: y alabarte he con arpa, o! Dios, Dios mío.

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 ¿Por qué te abates, o! alma mía, y por qué te enfureces contra mí? Espera a Dios, porque aun le tengo de alabar, salud de mi presencia, y Dios mío.

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.
