Psalm 13 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Et fortvivlet menneskes bøn

1 Til korlederen: En sang af David.

2 Hvor længe vil du glemme mig, Herre?—For evigt? Hvor længe skal jeg vente på din hjælp?

3 Hvor længe skal jeg kæmpe med sjæleangst? Mine dage og nætter er fyldt med frygt. Hvor længe skal fjenden triumfere over mig?

4 Min Herre og Gud, åh, hør min bøn, grib ind og red mig fra døden.

5 Lad ikke mine fjender gå af med sejren, lad ikke mine uvenner glædes over min undergang.

6 Jeg stoler på dig og din trofasthed. Jeg vil juble, når jeg oplever din frelse. Jeg vil prise dig, Herre, med sang, for din underfulde godhed imod mig.

How Long, O Lord?

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2 How 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?

3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; light up 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 your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

6 I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
