Chapter 43

¹Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!

¹神啊，求你伸我的冤，向不虔誠的國為我辨屈；求你救我脫離詭詐不義的人。

²For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

²因為你是賜我力量的神，為何丟棄我呢？我為何因仇敵的欺壓時常哀痛呢？

³O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your dwelling places.

³求你發出你的亮光和真實，好引導我，帶我到你的聖山，到你的居所！

⁴Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.

⁴我就走到神的祭壇，到我最喜樂的神那裡。神啊，我的　神，我要彈琴稱讚你！

⁵Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.

⁵我的心哪，你為何憂悶？為何在我裡面煩躁？應當仰望神，因我還要稱讚他。他是我臉上的光榮（原文是幫助），是我的　神。
