Psalmorum 43

1 psalmus David iudica me Deus et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me

Right me, defend my cause against a pitiless people. From the crafty and crooked, O God, deliver me.

2 quia tu es Deus fortitudo mea quare me reppulisti quare tristis incedo dum adfligit me inimicus

For you are God my protector: why have you cast me off? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe?

3 emitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam ipsa me deduxerunt et adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum et in tabernacula tua

Send forth your light and your truth, let them be my guides: to your holy hill let them bring me, to the place where you live.

4 et introibo ad altare Dei ad Deum qui laetificat iuventutem meam confitebor tibi in cithara Deus Deus meus

Then will I go to God’s altar, to God my rejoicing; and with joy on the lyre I will praise you, O God, my God.

5 quare tristis es anima mea et quare conturbas me spera in Deum quoniam adhuc; confitebor illi salutare vultus mei et; Deus meus

Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.
