< Psalms 13 >
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
【急難中的哭訴】達味詩歌,交與樂官。
2 How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up 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 Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, —Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into 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 mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him! and, mine adversaries, exult, that I totter.
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, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, 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 Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully with me.
我今信賴你的愛憐;我心歡愉你的救援;我要向我恩主歌讚。
