Salmenes 13

1 Til sangmesteren; en salme av David.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away from me?

2 Hvor lenge, Herre, vil du glemme mig evindelig? Hvor lenge vil du skjule ditt åsyn for mig?

How long can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?

3 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?

How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

4 Se hit, svar mig, Herre min Gud! Opklar mine øine, forat jeg ikke skal sove inn i døden,

Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,

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

lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.

6 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.

But I have hoped in your mercy. My heart will exult in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, who assigns good things to me. And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord Most High.
