Psalms 13

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” How long, O LORD! wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy 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 have anxiety in my soul for ever, And sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted 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 down and hear me, O LORD, my God! Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of 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!” Lest my adversaries rejoice, when I am fallen.

so min fiende ikkje skal segja: «Eg hev vunne yver honom, » so mine motstandarar ikkje skal fagna seg yver at eg fell.

5 Yet will I trust in thy goodness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation;

Men eg set mi lit til di miskunn, mitt hjarta skal fagna seg i di frelsa;

6 I will sing to the LORD, that he hath dealt kindly with me.

eg vil lovsyngja Herren, for han hev gjort vel imot meg.
