Salmenes 13

1 Til songmeisteren; ein salme av David. Kor lenge, Herre, vil du stendigt gløyma meg? Kor lenge vil du løyna ditt andlit for meg?

How long, O Jehovah? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

2 Kor lenge skal eg hava sorger i mi sjæl, hugverk i mitt hjarta heile dagen? Kor lenge skal min fiende vera upphøgd yver meg?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

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

Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

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

lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

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

But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

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

I will sing to Jehovah because he has dealt bountifully with me.
