Salmenes 13

1 Til sangmesteren; en salme av David.

Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

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

How long must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

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?

Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

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

Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

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

But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

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.

Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.
