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。

Psalm 43

Vindicate me, O God,
    and plead my cause against an ungodly nation;
    deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
For You are the God of my refuge;
    why have You rejected me?
Why do I walk about mourning
    because of the oppression of the enemy?
Send out Your light and Your truth.
    Let them lead me;
let them bring me to Your holy hill,
    and to Your dwelling place.
Then I will go to the altar of God,
    to the God of my joyful gladness;
with the harp I will give thanks to You,
    O God, my God.

Why are you cast down, O my soul?
    And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
    for I will yet give Him thanks,
    the salvation of my countenance and my God.
