Psalms 43
Below each verse in the original comes an approximate reading, in italics, for anyone who wants to pronounce the text aloud. It is not academic transliteration: it does not mark stress or settle the cases that depend on grammatical analysis, and the four-letter Name is read “Yahweh”, by the founder’s decision — the Hebrew pointing instructs saying “Adonai”, and Portuguese Bibles render it “SENHOR”.
1Faze-me justiça, ó Deus, e defende minha causa contra a nação impiedosa; livra-me do homem enganador e perverso;
שָׁפְטֵ֤נִי אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ וְרִ֘יבָ֤ה רִיבִ֗י מִגּ֥וֹי לֹא־חָסִ֑יד מֵ֤אִישׁ־מִרְמָ֖ה וְעַוְלָ֣ה תְפַלְּטֵֽנִי׃
shafteni elohim verivah rivi migoy lo-chasid meish-mirmah veavlah tefalteni
2Pois tu és o Deus de minha força. Por que tu me rejeitas? Por que ando em sofrimento pela opressão do inimigo?
כִּֽי־אַתָּ֤ה ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֣י מָֽעוּזִּי֮ לָמָ֪ה זְנַ֫חְתָּ֥נִי לָֽמָּה־קֹדֵ֥ר אֶתְהַלֵּ֗ךְ בְּלַ֣חַץ אוֹיֵֽב׃
ki-atah elohe mauzi lamah zenachtani lamah-koder ethalech belachats oyev
3Envia tua luz e tua verdade, para que elas me guiem, para que me levem ao monte de tua santidade e a tuas habitações;
שְׁלַח־אוֹרְךָ֣ וַ֭אֲמִתְּךָ הֵ֣מָּה יַנְח֑וּנִי יְבִיא֥וּנִי אֶל־הַֽר־קָ֝דְשְׁךָ֗ וְאֶל־מִשְׁכְּנוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
shelach-orcha vaamitcha hemah yanchuni yeviuni el-har-kadshcha veel-mishknotecha
4E eu entre ao altar de Deus, ao Deus da minha maior alegria, e eu te louve com harpa, ó Deus, meu Deus.
וְאָב֤וֹאָה ׀ אֶל־מִזְבַּ֬ח אֱלֹהִ֗ים אֶל־אֵל֮ שִׂמְחַ֪ת גִּ֫ילִ֥י וְאוֹדְךָ֥ בְכִנּ֗וֹר אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֱלֹהָֽי׃
veavoah el-mizbach elohim el-el simchat gili veodcha vechinor elohim elohay
5Por que estás abatida, minha alma? E por que te inquietas em mim? Espera em Deus, porque eu ainda o louvarei; ele é a minha salvação e o meu Deus.
מַה־תִּשְׁתּ֬וֹחֲחִ֨י ׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ וּֽמַה־תֶּהֱמִ֪י עָ֫לָ֥י הוֹחִ֣ילִי לֵֽ֭אלֹהִים כִּי־ע֣וֹד אוֹדֶ֑נּוּ יְשׁוּעֹ֥ת פָּ֝נַ֗י וֵֽאלֹהָֽי׃
mah-tishtochachi nafshi umah-tehemi alay hochili lelohim ki-od odenu yeshuot panay velohay
