< 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 thou [art] the God of my strength: why dost thou 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 thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me to thy holy hill, and to thy 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, 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 in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who] is the health of my countenance, and my God.
