流亡异乡者的祷告

43 上帝啊,
求你为我伸张正义,
在不虔敬的人面前为我辩护,
救我脱离诡诈邪恶的人。
你是保护我的上帝,
你为何丢弃我?
为何让我受仇敌的攻击,
使我哀伤不已呢?
求你以光明和真理引导我,
领我到你的圣山,到你的居所。
我要到上帝的祭坛前,
到赐我喜乐的上帝面前。
上帝啊,我的上帝,
我要弹琴赞美你。
我的心啊!
你为何沮丧?为何烦躁?
要仰望上帝,
因为我还要赞美祂——我的救主,我的上帝。

Send Out Your Light and Your Truth

43 (A)Vindicate me, O God, and (B)defend my cause
    against an ungodly people,
from (C)the deceitful and unjust man
    deliver me!
For you are (D)the God in whom I take refuge;
    why have you (E)rejected me?
Why do I (F)go about mourning
    because of the oppression of the enemy?

(G)Send out your light and your truth;
    let them lead me;
let them bring me to your (H)holy hill
    and to your (I)dwelling!
Then I will go to the altar of God,
    to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
    O God, my God.

(J)Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you in turmoil within me?
(K)Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation and my God.
