A Plea for Deliverance

For the choir director. A psalm of David.

13 How long, Lord? Will you forget me for ever?
How long will you hide your face from me?(A)
How long will I store up anxious concerns[a] within me,
agony in my mind every day?
How long will my enemy dominate me?(B)

Consider me and answer, Lord my God.
Restore brightness to my eyes;(C)
otherwise, I will sleep in death.
My enemy will say, ‘I have triumphed over him,’
and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.(D)

But I have trusted in your faithful love;(E)
my heart will rejoice in your deliverance.(F)
I will sing to the Lord
because he has treated me generously.(G)

  1. 13:2 Or up counsels

罹忧苦求耶和华眷顾

13 大卫的诗,交于伶长。

耶和华啊,你忘记我要到几时呢?要到永远吗?你掩面不顾我要到几时呢?
我心里筹算,终日愁苦,要到几时呢?我的仇敌升高压制我,要到几时呢?
耶和华我的神啊,求你看顾我,应允我,使我眼目光明,免得我沉睡至死,
免得我的仇敌说“我胜了他”,免得我的敌人在我摇动的时候喜乐。
但我倚靠你的慈爱,我的心因你的救恩快乐。
我要向耶和华歌唱,因他用厚恩待我。
