Psalms 13

1 Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

Til Sangmesteren. En Salme af David.

2 How long must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

Hvor længe vil du evigt glemme mig, Herre, hvor længe skjule dit Aasyn for mig?

3 Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

Hvor længe skal jeg huse Sorg i min Sjæl, Kvide i Hjertet Dag og Nat? Hvor længe skal Fjenden ophøje sig over mig?

4 Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

Se til og svar mig, HERRE min Gud, klar mine Øjne, saa jeg ej sover ind i Døden

5 But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

og min Fjende skal sige: »Jeg overvandt ham!« mine Uvenner juble, fordi jeg vakler!

6 Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.

Dog stoler jeg fast paa din Miskundhed, lad mit Hjerte juble over din Frelse! Jeg vil synge for HERREN, thi han var mig god!
