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 chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt 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 daily? 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] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep [the sleep] of 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; [and] those that trouble me 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 mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

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

I will sing to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
