Psalms 13

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. How long, Yahweh, will you keep forgetting about me? How long will you hide your face from me?

Til Sangmesteren. En Salme af David.

2 How long must I worry and have grief in my heart all day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

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

3 Look at me and answer me, Yahweh my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.

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 let my enemy say, “I have defeated him,” so that my enemy may not say, “I have prevailed over my adversary”; otherwise, my enemies will rejoice when I am brought down.

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

5 But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

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

6 I will sing to Yahweh because he has treated me very generously.

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