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?

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Until when, O YHWH, Do You forget me forever? Until when do You hide Your 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?

Until when do I set counsels in my soul, [With] sorrow in my heart daily? Until when is my enemy exalted over me?

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

Look attentively; Answer me, O YHWH, my God, Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in 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 overcame him,” My adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

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

And I have trusted in Your kindness, My heart rejoices in Your salvation.

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

I sing to YHWH, For He has conferred benefits on me!
