Zaburi 43

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

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

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

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

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 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 the God of my joy and exultation; Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, 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 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!
