< Zaburi 43 >
1 Ee Mungu unihukumu, nitetee dhidi ya taifa lisilomcha Mungu, niokoe na watu wadanganyifu na waovu.
A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and discern my cause from that of a nation not holy; rescue me from a man unjust and deceitful.
2 Wewe ni Mungu ngome yangu. Kwa nini umenikataa? Kwa nini niendelee kuomboleza, nikiwa nimeonewa na adui?
For you are God, my strength. Why have you rejected me? And why do I walk in sadness, while the adversary afflicts me?
3 Tuma hima nuru yako na kweli yako na viniongoze; vinilete mpaka mlima wako mtakatifu, mpaka mahali unapoishi.
Send forth your light and your truth. They have guided me and led me, to your holy mountain and into your tabernacles.
4 Ndipo nitakwenda madhabahuni pa Mungu, kwa Mungu, furaha yangu na shangwe yangu. Nitakusifu kwa kinubi, Ee Mungu, Mungu wangu.
And I will enter, up to the altar of God, to God who enlivens my youthfulness. To you, O God, my God, I will confess upon a stringed instrument.
5 Ee nafsi yangu, kwa nini unasononeka? Kwa nini unafadhaika hivyo ndani yangu? Weka tumaini lako kwa Mungu, kwa sababu bado nitamsifu Mwokozi wangu na Mungu wangu.
Why are you sad, my soul? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance and my God.
