Psalms 13

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Cik ilgi, ak Kungs, Tu mani it visai aizmirsti? Cik ilgi Tu apslēpi Savu vaigu priekš manis?

2 How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

Cik ilgi man būs padomu meklēt savā dvēselē un savā sirdī ikdienas baiļoties? Cik ilgi mans ienaidnieks pār mani paaugstināsies?

3 Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Skaties, paklausi mani, ak Kungs, mans Dievs, apgaismo manas acis, ka es nāvē neaizmiegu,

4 lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

Ka mans ienaidnieks nesaka: es viņu esmu pārvarējis, un ka mani pretinieki nepriecājās, ka es šaubos.

5 But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

Bet es cerēju uz Tavu žēlastību, mana sirds līksmojās iekš Tavas pestīšanas.

6 I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

Es dziedāšu Tam Kungam, ka Viņš man labu dara.
