Zaburi 43

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

Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost 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 thou [art] the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

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

Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They — they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.

4 Kisha nitakwenda madhabahuni mwa Mungu, kwa Mungu wangu aliye furaha yangu kuu. Nami nitakusifu wewe kwa kinubi, Ee Mungu, Mungu wangu.

And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, 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.

What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
