< Psalms 13 >

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
Til songmeisteren; ein salme av David. Kor lenge, Herre, vil du stendigt gløyma meg? Kor lenge vil du løyna ditt andlit for meg?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
Kor lenge skal eg hava sorger i mi sjæl, hugverk i mitt hjarta heile dagen? Kor lenge skal min fiende vera upphøgd yver meg?
3 Look, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
Sjå hit, svara meg, Herre min Gud! Lys upp mine augo, so eg ikkje skal sovna inn i dauden,
4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
so min fiende ikkje skal segja: «Eg hev vunne yver honom, » so mine motstandarar ikkje skal fagna seg yver at eg fell.
5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
Men eg set mi lit til di miskunn, mitt hjarta skal fagna seg i di frelsa;
6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of the LORD Most High.
eg vil lovsyngja Herren, for han hev gjort vel imot meg.
