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?
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?

Yahweh, aking Diyos, tingnan mo ako at sagutin,
    huwag hayaang mamatay, lakas ko'y panumbalikin.
Baka sabihin ng kaaway ko na ako'y kanilang natalo,
    at sila'y magyabang dahil sa pagbagsak ko.

Nananalig ako sa pag-ibig mong wagas,
    magagalak ako dahil ako'y ililigtas.
O Yahweh, ika'y aking aawitan,
    dahil sa iyong masaganang kabutihan.

Psalm 13[a]

Prayer for Help

For the leader. A psalm of David.

I

How long, Lord? Will you utterly forget me?
    How long will you hide your face from me?(A)
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

Look upon me, answer me, Lord, my God!
    Give light to my eyes lest I sleep in death,
Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed,”
    lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.(B)

III

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

  1. 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).
