Psalm 13
Revised Standard Version

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

13 How long, O Lord? Wilt thou forget me for ever?
    How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long must I bear pain[a] in my soul,
    and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
    lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him”;
    lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.

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

Trust in the Salvation of the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

13 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
(A)How long will You hide Your face from me?

Having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God;
(B)Enlighten my eyes,
(C)Lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest my enemy say,
“I have prevailed against him”;
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 But I have trusted in Your mercy;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 13

Under djup ångest

1 För sångmästaren. En psalm av David.

2 Hur länge, Herre, skall du alldeles glömma mig?
Hur länge skall du dölja ditt ansikte för mig?
3 Hur länge skall jag oroas i min själ
    och ängslas i mitt hjärta dagligen?
Hur länge skall min fiende triumfera över mig?

4 Se till mig och svara mig, Herre, min Gud!
Upplys mina ögon, så att jag ej somnar in i döden.
5 Låt inte min fiende säga:
    "Jag blev honom för stark"
och mina ovänner glädja sig när jag vacklar.
6 Jag förtröstar på din nåd,
    mitt hjärta jublar över din frälsning.
Jag vill sjunga till Herrens ära,
    ty han är god mot mig.
