Psalm 13 | English Standard Version

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.

1 Dem Vorsänger. Ein Psalm Davids. 2 Wie lange, o HERR, willst du mich ganz vergessen? Wie lange verbirgst du dein Angesicht vor mir? 3 Wie lange soll ich Sorgen hegen in meiner Seele, Kummer in meinem Herzen tragen Tag für Tag? Wie lange soll mein Feind sich über mich erheben? 4 Schau her und erhöre mich, o HERR, mein Gott! Erleuchte meine Augen, dass ich nicht in den Todesschlaf versinke, 5 dass mein Feind nicht sagen kann: »Ich habe ihn überwältigt«, und meine Widersacher nicht frohlocken, weil ich wanke! 6 Ich aber vertraue auf deine Gnade; mein Herz soll frohlocken in deinem Heil. Ich will dem HERRN singen, weil er mir wohlgetan hat!
