Mga Awit 13
Magandang Balita Biblia
Panalangin Upang Tulungan ng Diyos
Katha ni David upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit.
13 Hanggang kailan, Yahweh, ako'y iyong lilimutin?
Gaano katagal kang magtatago sa akin?
2 Gaano katagal pa itong hapdi ng damdamin
at ang lungkot sa puso kong gabi't araw titiisin?
Kaaway ko'y hanggang kailan magwawagi sa akin?
3 Yahweh, aking Diyos, tingnan mo ako at sagutin,
huwag hayaang mamatay, lakas ko'y panumbalikin.
4 Baka sabihin ng kaaway ko na ako'y kanilang natalo,
at sila'y magyabang dahil sa pagbagsak ko.
5 Nananalig ako sa pag-ibig mong wagas,
magagalak ako dahil ako'y ililigtas.
6 O Yahweh, ika'y aking aawitan,
dahil sa iyong masaganang kabutihan.
Psalm 13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 13[a]
Prayer for Help
1 For the leader. A psalm of David.
I
2 How long, Lord? Will you utterly forget me?
How long will you hide your face from me?(A)
3 How long must I carry sorrow in my soul,
grief in my heart day after day?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
II
4 Look upon me, answer me, Lord, my God!
Give light to my eyes lest I sleep in death,
5 Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed,”
lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.(B)
III
6 But I trust in your mercy.
Grant my heart joy in your salvation,
I will sing to the Lord,
for he has dealt bountifully with me!(C)
Footnotes
- Psalm 13 A typical lament, in which the psalmist feels forgotten by God (Ps 13:2–3)—note the force of the repetition of “How long.” The references to enemies may suggest some have wished evil on the psalmist. The heartfelt prayer (Ps 13:4–5) passes on a statement of trust (Ps 13:6a), intended to reinforce the prayer, and a vow to thank God when deliverance has come (Ps 13:6b).
