< Zaburi 43 >
1 Mungu, uniletee haki, na unitetee dhidi ya taifa lisilo la kimungu.
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
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 are the God of my strength: why do you cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 Oh, tuma nuru yako na kweli yako ziniongoze. Ziniletee mlima wako mtakatifu na makao yako.
O send out your light and your truth: let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill, and to your tabernacles.
4 Kisha nitakwenda madhabahuni mwa Mungu, kwa Mungu wangu aliye furaha yangu kuu. Nami nitakusifu wewe kwa kinubi, Ee Mungu, Mungu wangu.
Then will I go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy: yes, on the harp will I praise you, O 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 are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
