Psalms 13

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. Will you for ever put me out of your memory, O Lord? will your face for ever be turned away from me?

【急難中的哭訴】達味詩歌，交與樂官。

2 How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power 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 Let my voice come before you, and give me an answer, O Lord my God; let your light be shining on me, so that the sleep of death may not overtake me;

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 And he who is against me may not say, I have overcome him; and those who are troubling me may not be glad 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 had faith in your mercy; my heart will be glad in your 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 make a song to the Lord, because he has given me my reward.

我今信賴你的愛憐；我心歡愉你的救援；我要向我恩主歌讚。
