< Psalms 13 >
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
【急難中的哭訴】達味詩歌,交與樂官。
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
上主,你把我全然遺忘,要到何時?上主,你掩面而不顧我,要到何時?
3 Consider [and] answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;
我的心情終日愁悵,要到何時?我的仇敵高居我上,要到何時?
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [Lest] mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
上主,我的天主! 求你垂顧回答我;賜我眼目明亮,別讓我沉睡而亡。
5 But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
免得我的仇人說:「我已打了勝仗! 」免得我跌倒之時,敵人歡欣若狂。
6 I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
我今信賴你的愛憐;我心歡愉你的救援;我要向我恩主歌讚。
