Psalmi 13

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” How long, O LORD! wilt thou forget me for ever? 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 anxiety in my soul for ever, And sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

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

Look down and hear me, O LORD, my God! Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

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

Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him!” Lest my adversaries rejoice, when I am fallen.

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

Yet will I trust in thy goodness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation;

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

I will sing to the LORD, that he hath dealt kindly with me.
