Salmo 43

Plegaria implorando liberación

43 Hazme justicia, oh Dios(A), y defiende mi causa contra una nación impía(B);
Líbrame del hombre engañoso e injusto(C).
Ya que Tú eres el Dios de mi fortaleza(D), ¿por qué me has rechazado(E)?
¿Por qué ando sombrío por la opresión del enemigo(F)?
¶Envía Tu luz y Tu verdad(G); que ellas me guíen,
Que me lleven a Tu santo monte(H)
Y a Tus moradas(I).
Entonces llegaré al altar de Dios(J),
A Dios, mi supremo gozo(K);
Y al son de la lira te alabaré(L), oh Dios, Dios mío.
¶¿Por qué te desesperas[a], alma mía,
Y por qué te turbas dentro de mí?
Espera en Dios, pues lo he de alabar otra vez.
¡Él es la salvación de mi ser, y mi Dios(M)!

  1. 43:5 O estás deprimida.

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.

Psalm 43[a]

Vindicate me, my God,
    and plead my cause(A)
    against an unfaithful nation.
Rescue me(B) from those who are
    deceitful and wicked.(C)
You are God my stronghold.
    Why have you rejected(D) me?
Why must I go about mourning,(E)
    oppressed by the enemy?(F)
Send me your light(G) and your faithful care,(H)
    let them lead me;(I)
let them bring me to your holy mountain,(J)
    to the place where you dwell.(K)
Then I will go(L) to the altar(M) of God,
    to God, my joy(N) and my delight.(O)
I will praise you with the lyre,(P)
    O God, my God.

Why, my soul, are you downcast?
    Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
    for I will yet praise him,
    my Savior and my God.(Q)

Prayer to God in Time of Trouble

43 Vindicate (A)me, O God,
And (B)plead my cause against an ungodly nation;
Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!
For You are the God of my strength;
Why do You cast me off?
(C)Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

(D)Oh, send out Your light and Your truth!
Let them lead me;
Let them bring me to (E)Your holy hill
And to Your [a]tabernacle.
Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And on the harp I will praise You,
O God, my God.

(F)Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The [b]help of my countenance and my God.
