Psalm 43 43 Psalms Book 2 Arabic Simplified Text 1 ARST O God, announce that I am innocent. Defend me when people try to accuse me of doing evil, people who are unfaithful to you! Rescue me from people who deceive me and lie about me. BSB BSB: Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.
2 ARST { I expect you to do this} since you are the God who protects me, and yet you have abandoned me! I am living sorrowfully because my enemies are afflicting me. BSB BSB: For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?
3 ARST Speak words that drive away my oppressors, as light causes darkness to cease. Say truthful words to me! This will allow me to return to your temple on Mount Zion, where you dwell. BSB BSB: Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain and to the place where You dwell.
4 ARST After I come to Zion, I will go to your altar to worship you, O God, who causes me to be very joyful. There I will praise you, the God whom I worship, by playing the harp. BSB BSB: Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.
5 ARST But now I say to myself,“You certainly should not be sad and troubled! Confidently expect for God to rescue you! Then you will once again praise him, because of how he has saved you.” BSB BSB: Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
