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 av 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 lenge, Herre, vil du glemme mig evindelig? Hvor lenge vil du skjule ditt åsyn 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 lenge skal jeg huse sorgfulle tanker i min sjel, kummer i mitt hjerte den hele dag? Hvor lenge skal min fiende ophøie 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 hit, svar mig, Herre min Gud! Opklar mine øine, forat jeg ikke skal sove inn i døden,

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

forat ikke min fiende skal si: Jeg fikk overhånd over ham, forat ikke mine motstandere skal fryde sig når jeg vakler!

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

Men jeg setter min lit til din miskunnhet; mitt hjerte skal fryde sig i din frelse; jeg vil lovsynge Herren, for han har gjort vel imot mig.
