Salme 13

1 (Til sangmesteren. En salme af David.) Hvor længe vil du evigt glemme mig, Herre, hvor længe skjule dit Åsyn for mig?

For the chief musician. A psalm of David. How long, Yahweh, will you keep forgetting about me? How long will you hide your face from me?

2 Hvor længe skal jeg huse Sorg i min Sjæl, Kvide i Hjertet Dag og Nat? Hvor længe skal Fjenden ophøje sig over mig?

How long must I worry and have grief in my heart all day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

3 Se til og svar mig, HERRE min Gud, klar mine Øjne, så jeg ej sover ind i Døden

Look at me and answer me, Yahweh my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.

4 og min Fjende skal sige: "Jeg overvandt ham!" mine Uvenner juble, fordi jeg vakler!

Do not let my enemy say, “I have defeated him,” so that my enemy may not say, “I have prevailed over my adversary”; otherwise, my enemies will rejoice when I am brought down.

5 Dog stoler jeg fast på din Miskundhed, lad mit Hjerte juble over din Frelse!

But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

6 Jeg vil synge for HERREN, thi han var mig god!

I will sing to Yahweh because he has treated me very generously.
