< Zaburi 43 >
1 Mungu, uniletee haki, na unitetee dhidi ya taifa lisilo la kimungu.
Bring me justice, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation.
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 have you rejected me? Why do I go about in mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 Oh, tuma nuru yako na kweli yako ziniongoze. Ziniletee mlima wako mtakatifu na makao yako.
Oh, send out your light and your truth, let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling.
4 Kisha nitakwenda madhabahuni mwa Mungu, kwa Mungu wangu aliye furaha yangu kuu. Nami nitakusifu wewe kwa kinubi, Ee Mungu, Mungu wangu.
Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy. I will praise you with 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 are you bowed down, my soul? Why are you upset within me? Hope in God, for again I will praise him who is my salvation and my God.
