Psalms 13

1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Until when? O Yahweh will you forget me perpetuity until when? - will you hide face your 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 Until when? will I set counsel in soul my sorrow in heart my by day until when? - will he be exalted enemy my 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 Pay attention! answer me O Yahweh God my give light to! eyes my lest I should sleep the death.

Sjå hit, svara meg, Herre min Gud! Lys upp mine augo, so eg ikkje skal sovna inn i dauden,

4 Lest he should say enemy my I have prevailed over him opponents my they will rejoice if I am shaken.

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

5 And I - in covenant loyalty your I have trusted may it rejoice heart my in deliverance your

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

6 I will sing to Yahweh for he has dealt bountifully towards me.

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