Zaburi 43

1 Mungu, uniletee haki, na unitetee dhidi ya taifa lisilo la kimungu.

God, please vindicate me! Plead my case against an unfaithful nation; save me from these wicked and dishonest people.

2 Kwa kuwa wewe ni Mungu wa nguvu zangu. Kwa nini umenikataa? Kwa nini ninaenenda katika maombolezo kwa sababu ya ukandamizaji wa adui yangu?

For you, God, are my protection—so why have you turned your back on me? Why must I go around weeping because of the attacks of my enemies?

3 Oh, tuma nuru yako na kweli yako ziniongoze. Ziniletee mlima wako mtakatifu na makao yako.

Send your light and your truth so they can guide me; let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.

4 Kisha nitakwenda madhabahuni mwa Mungu, kwa Mungu wangu aliye furaha yangu kuu. Nami nitakusifu wewe kwa kinubi, Ee Mungu, Mungu wangu.

I will go to God's altar, to God who makes me truly happy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

5 Roho yangu, kwa nini umeinama? Kwa nini unahuzuni ndani yangu? Kwa kuwa nitamsifu tena yeye ambaye ni wokovu wangu na Mungu wangu.

Why am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God; I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—my God!
