Zaburi 43

1 Mungu, uniletee haki, na unitetee dhidi ya taifa lisilo la kimungu.

Right me, defend my cause against a pitiless people. From the crafty and crooked, O God, 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 you are God my protector: why have you cast me off? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe?

3 Oh, tuma nuru yako na kweli yako ziniongoze. Ziniletee mlima wako mtakatifu na makao yako.

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 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 God’s altar, to God my rejoicing; and with joy on the lyre I will praise you, 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 am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.
