< Psalms 13 >
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me? for ever? how long wilt thou turn away 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] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my 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 Look on me, hearken to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in 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 at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be 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 hoped in thy mercy; my heart shall exult 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 to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
我今信賴你的愛憐;我心歡愉你的救援;我要向我恩主歌讚。
