Psalmi 13

1 Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Cik ilgi, ak Kungs, Tu mani it visai aizmirsti? Cik ilgi Tu apslēpi Savu vaigu priekš manis?

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me continually! how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Cik ilgi man būs padomu meklēt savā dvēselē un savā sirdī ikdienas baiļoties? Cik ilgi mans ienaidnieks pār mani paaugstināsies?

How long shall I have to devise resolves in my soul, with grief in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?

3 Skaties, paklausi mani, ak Kungs, mans Dievs, apgaismo manas acis, ka es nāvē neaizmiegu,

Look down, answer me, O Lord my God! enlighten my eyes, that I may not sleep the sleep of death;

4 Ka mans ienaidnieks nesaka: es viņu esmu pārvarējis, un ka mani pretinieki nepriecājās, ka es šaubos.

That my enemy may not say, I have overcome him; that my assailants may not be glad when I am moved.

5 Bet es cerēju uz Tavu žēlastību, mana sirds līksmojās iekš Tavas pestīšanas.

But I trust in thy kindness, let my heart be glad because of thy salvation:

6 Es dziedāšu Tam Kungam, ka Viņš man labu dara.

I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
