Zaburi 43

1 Ee Mungu unihukumu, nitetee dhidi ya taifa lisilomcha Mungu, niokoe na watu wadanganyifu na waovu.

Judge me, O God! and defend my cause against a merciless nation! Deliver me from unjust and deceitful men!

2 Wewe ni Mungu ngome yangu. Kwa nini umenikataa? Kwa nini niendelee kuomboleza, nikiwa nimeonewa na adui?

Thou art the God of my refuge: why dost thou cast me off? Why go I mourning on account of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Tuma hima nuru yako na kweli yako na viniongoze; vinilete mpaka mlima wako mtakatifu, mpaka mahali unapoishi.

O send forth thy light and thy truth; let them guide me; Let them lead me to thy holy mountain, and to thy dwelling-place!

4 Ndipo nitakwenda madhabahuni pa Mungu, kwa Mungu, furaha yangu na shangwe yangu. Nitakusifu kwa kinubi, Ee Mungu, Mungu wangu.

Then will I go to the altar of God, To the God of my joy and exultation; Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God!

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 art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Him, my deliverer and my God!
