< Zaburi 43 >
1 Mungu, uniletee haki, na unitetee dhidi ya taifa lisilo la kimungu.
Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause, Against a nation, without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity, wilt thou deliver me?
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, thou, art my defending God—Wherefore hast thou rejected me? Wherefore in gloom should I wander, because of the oppression of an enemy?
3 Oh, tuma nuru yako na kweli yako ziniongoze. Ziniletee mlima wako mtakatifu na makao yako.
Send forth thy light and thy faithfulness, Let, them, lead me, Let them bring me into thy holy mountain, and into thy habitations:
4 Kisha nitakwenda madhabahuni mwa Mungu, kwa Mungu wangu aliye furaha yangu kuu. Nami nitakusifu wewe kwa kinubi, Ee Mungu, Mungu wangu.
That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy, —That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God—mine own 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 shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me, Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence, and my God.
