Psalms 13

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face 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 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted 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 Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep [the sleep] of death;

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

4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

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

5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

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

6 I will sing to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

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