< Zaburi 43 >
1 Ee Mungu unihukumu, nitetee dhidi ya taifa lisilomcha Mungu, niokoe na watu wadanganyifu na waovu.
A psalm for David. Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
2 Wewe ni Mungu ngome yangu. Kwa nini umenikataa? Kwa nini niendelee kuomboleza, nikiwa nimeonewa na adui?
For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
3 Tuma hima nuru yako na kweli yako na viniongoze; vinilete mpaka mlima wako mtakatifu, mpaka mahali unapoishi.
Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
4 Ndipo nitakwenda madhabahuni pa Mungu, kwa Mungu, furaha yangu na shangwe yangu. Nitakusifu kwa kinubi, Ee Mungu, Mungu wangu.
And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.
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.
To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
