Text Translation

Sung in German
Bring justice to the people, O God, and strength on my behalf
To stand firm against oppression;
From all that is greedy and unjust deliver me!
For You are the One in whom I take refuge;
Yet, have You abandoned me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of ignorance?

O, send out Your light and Your truth;
Let them guide me and lead me to Your holy altar.
Then will I know Your Heart of my heart, my exceeding joy;
And I will praise you with song, o my Beloved, my Awakener.

Why are you cast down, O my soul,
And why do you sigh within me?
Hope in God! Then I will again give God thanks,
For we are all one in love, now and forevermore.
—Psalm 43
