Psalms 13

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn away from me?

Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Cik ilgi, ak Kungs, Tu mani it visai aizmirsti? Cik ilgi Tu apslēpi Savu vaigu priekš manis?

2 How long must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious over me?

Cik ilgi man būs padomu meklēt savā dvēselē un savā sirdī ikdienas baiļoties? Cik ilgi mans ienaidnieks pār mani paaugstināsies?

3 Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength, otherwise I'm going to die,

Skaties, paklausi mani, ak Kungs, mans Dievs, apgaismo manas acis, ka es nāvē neaizmiegu,

4 and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.

Ka mans ienaidnieks nesaka: es viņu esmu pārvarējis, un ka mani pretinieki nepriecājās, ka es šaubos.

5 But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.

Bet es cerēju uz Tavu žēlastību, mana sirds līksmojās iekš Tavas pestīšanas.

6 I will sing to the Lord because he has treated me with such generosity!

Es dziedāšu Tam Kungam, ka Viņš man labu dara.
