Psalm 13
Hoffnung für Alle

Wie lange noch, Herr?

13 Ein Lied von David.

2 Herr, wie lange wirst du mich noch vergessen,
    wie lange hältst du dich vor mir verborgen?
3 Wie lange noch sollen Sorgen mich quälen,
wie lange soll der Kummer Tag für Tag an mir nagen?
    Wie lange noch wird mein Feind über mir stehen?

4 Herr, mein Gott, wende dich mir zu und antworte mir!
    Lass mich wieder froh werden und neuen Mut gewinnen,
    sonst bin ich dem Tod geweiht.
5 Mein Feind würde triumphieren und sagen:
»Den habe ich zur Strecke gebracht!«
    Meine Gegner würden jubeln über meinen Untergang.

6 Ich aber vertraue auf deine Liebe
und juble darüber, dass du mich retten wirst.
    Mit meinem Lied will ich dich loben,
    denn du, Herr, hast mir Gutes getan.

Psalm 13

Psalm 13[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 How long,(A) Lord? Will you forget me(B) forever?
    How long will you hide your face(C) from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts(D)
    and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
    How long will my enemy triumph over me?(E)

3 Look on me(F) and answer,(G) Lord my God.
    Give light to my eyes,(H) or I will sleep in death,(I)
4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,(J)”
    and my foes will rejoice when I fall.(K)

5 But I trust in your unfailing love;(L)
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.(M)
6 I will sing(N) the Lord’s praise,
    for he has been good to me.

How Long, O Lord?

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

13 (A)How long, O Lord? Will you (B)forget me forever?
    How long will you (C)hide your face from me?
2 How long must I take (D)counsel in my soul
    and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 (E)Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
    (F)light up my eyes, lest (G)I sleep the sleep of death,
4 (H)lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
    lest my foes rejoice because I am (I)shaken.

5 But I have (J)trusted in your steadfast love;
    my heart shall (K)rejoice in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord,
    because he has dealt bountifully with me.
