Wie lange noch, Herr?

13 Ein Lied von David.

Herr, wie lange wirst du mich noch vergessen,
    wie lange hältst du dich vor mir verborgen?
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?

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.
Mein Feind würde triumphieren und sagen:
»Den habe ich zur Strecke gebracht!«
    Meine Gegner würden jubeln über meinen Untergang.

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.

Davi, na sua extrema tristeza, recorre a Deus e confia nele

Salmo de Davi para o cantor-mor

13 Até quando te esquecerás de mim, Senhor? Para sempre? Até quando esconderás de mim o teu rosto? Até quando consultarei com a minha alma, tendo tristeza no meu coração cada dia? Até quando se exaltará sobre mim o meu inimigo? Atenta em mim, ouve-me, ó Senhor, meu Deus; alumia os meus olhos para que eu não adormeça na morte; para que o meu inimigo não diga: Prevaleci contra ele; e os meus adversários se não alegrem, vindo eu a vacilar.

Mas eu confio na tua benignidade; na tua salvação, meu coração se alegrará. Cantarei ao Senhor, porquanto me tem feito muito bem.

13 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath 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?
How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

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

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

Psalm 13[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

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

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

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