1Dem Chorleiter. Ein Psalm. Von David.2Bis wann, HERR? Willst du für immer mich vergessen? Bis wann willst du dein Angesicht vor mir verbergen? (Ps 6,4; Ps 77,8; Kla 5,20)3Bis wann soll ich Sorgen[1] hegen in meiner Seele, Kummer in meinem Herzen bei Tage? Bis wann soll sich mein Feind über mich erheben?4Schau her, antworte mir, HERR, mein Gott! Mach hell meine Augen[2], dass ich nicht zum Tod entschlafe!5Dass mein Feind nicht sagt: »Ich habe ihn überwältigt!«, meine Bedränger nicht jauchzen, wenn ich wanke[3]. (Ps 25,2; Ps 38,17)6Ich aber, ich habe auf deine Gnade vertraut; mein Herz soll jauchzen über deine Rettung. Ich will dem HERRN singen, dass er mir ⟨Gutes⟩ erwiesen hat. (Ps 9,15; Ps 28,7)
1To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? (Hi 13,24; Ps 10,12; Ps 44,24; Ps 74,19; Ps 74,23; Ps 79,5; Ps 89,46; Kla 5,20; Offb 6,10)2How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? (Ps 77,6)3Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, (1Sam 14,27; Esr 9,8; Ps 5,1; Ps 19,8; Ps 119,153; Spr 29,13; Jer 51,39; Eph 1,18)4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. (5Mo 32,27; Ps 10,6)5But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. (Ps 9,14; Ps 11,1)6I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
1How long, Lord? Will you forget me for ever? How long will you hide your face from me?2How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?3Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,4and my enemy will say, ‘I have overcome him,’ and my foes will rejoice when I fall.5But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.6I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.
1LORD, how long must I wait? Will you forget me for ever? How long will you turn your face away from me?2How long must I struggle with my thoughts? How long must my heart be sad day after day? How long will my enemies keep winning the battle over me?3LORD my God, look at me and answer me. Give me new life, or I will die.4Then my enemies will say, ‘We have beaten him.’ They will be filled with joy when I die.5But I trust in your faithful love. My heart is filled with joy because you will save me.6I will sing praise to the LORD. He has been so good to me.
Psalm 13

1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
