Salme 13

1 Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme, af David.

Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

2 Herre, hvor længe? vil du evindelig glemme mig? hvor længe vil du skjule dit Ansigt for mig?

How long must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

3 Hvor længe skal jeg være raadvild i min Sjæl og have Bedrøvelse i mit Hjerte om Dagen, hvor længe skal min Fjende ophøje sig over mig?

Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

4 Se til, bønhør mig, Herre min Gud! opklar mine Øjne, at jeg ikke skal hensove i Døden,

Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

5 at min Fjende ikke skal sige: Jeg fik Overhaand over ham; at min Modstander ikke skal fryde sig over, at jeg snubler.

But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

6 Men jeg forlader mig paa din Miskundhed, lad mit Hjerte fryde sig i din Frelse; jeg vil synge for Herren, thi han har gjort vel imod mig.

Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.
