流亡異鄉者的禱告

43 上帝啊,
求你為我伸張正義,
在不虔敬的人面前為我辯護,
救我脫離詭詐邪惡的人。
你是保護我的上帝,
你為何丟棄我?
為何讓我受仇敵的攻擊,
使我哀傷不已呢?
求你以光明和真理引導我,
領我到你的聖山,到你的居所。
我要到上帝的祭壇前,
到賜我喜樂的上帝面前。
上帝啊,我的上帝,
我要彈琴讚美你。
我的心啊!
你為何沮喪?為何煩躁?
要仰望上帝,
因為我還要讚美祂——我的救主,我的上帝。

Psalm 43[a]

Vindicate me, God, and champion my cause
against an unfaithful nation;
rescue me from the deceitful and unjust person.(A)
For you are the God of my refuge.
Why have you rejected me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?(B)

Send your light and your truth; let them lead me.(C)
Let them bring me to your holy mountain,
to your dwelling place.(D)
Then I will come to the altar of God,
to God, my greatest joy.(E)
I will praise you with the lyre,
God, my God.(F)

Why, my soul, are you so dejected?
Why are you in such turmoil?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him,
my Savior and my God.(G)
