Psalms 43

1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and discern my cause from that of a nation not holy; rescue me from a man unjust and deceitful.

Fè m' jistis, Bondye. Defann kòz mwen kont moun sa yo ki pa konnen ou. Delivre m' anba moun sa yo k'ap bay manti, k'ap fè mechanste.

2 For you are God, my strength. Why have you rejected me? And why do I walk in sadness, while the adversary afflicts me?

Se ou ki Bondye mwen, se ou ki tout pwoteksyon mwen. Poukisa ou lage m' konsa? Poukisa pou m'ap viv ak tout lapenn sa a nan kè m', lè lènmi m' yo ap kraze m' anba pye yo?

3 Send forth your light and your truth. They have guided me and led me, to your holy mountain and into your tabernacles.

Voye limyè ou, moutre m' verite ou la. Fè yo fè m' wè chemen pou m' pran an. Fè yo mennen m' sou mòn ki apa pou ou a, nan kay kote ou rete a.

4 And I will enter, up to the altar of God, to God who enlivens my youthfulness. To you, O God, my God, I will confess upon a stringed instrument.

Lè sa a, m'a tounen vin bò lotèl Bondye a, Bondye ki fè kè m' kontan an, Bondye k'ap fè m' fè fèt la. M'a jwe enstriman mizik pou Bondye, pou Bondye pa m' lan.

5 Why are you sad, my soul? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance and my God.

Wi, men poukisa m' kagou konsa? Poukisa m'ap plenn konsa nan kè m'? M'ap mete espwa mwen nan Bondye, paske mwen gen pou m' fè lwanj li ankò. Se li k'ap delivre m', se li ki Bondye mwen.
