(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
A Prayer for the Lord's Help
1 How much longer, Lord,
will you forget about me?
Will it be forever?
How long will you hide?
2 How long must I be confused
and miserable all day?
How long will my enemies
keep beating me down?
3 Please listen, Lord God,
and answer my prayers.
Make my eyes sparkle again,
or else I will fall
into the sleep of death.
4 My enemies will say,
“Now we've won!”
They will be greatly pleased
when I am defeated.
5 I trust your love,
and I feel like celebrating
because you rescued me.
6 You have been good to me, Lord,
and I will sing about you.
Cik ilgi vēl, ak Kungs?
1 Dziedātāju vadonim, Dāvida dziesma.
2 Cik ilgi, ak Kungs, Tu neliksies zinis par mani, cik ilgi Tu apslēpsi savu vaigu no manis?
3 Cik ilgi man būs glabāt rūpes savā dvēselē, diendienā bēdāties savā sirdī? Cik ilgi mans ienaidnieks pacelsies pār mani?
4 Raugies šurp, paklausi mani. Kungs, mans Dievs, dari manas acis spodras, ka es neaizmiegu nāvē!
5 Lai mans ienaidnieks nesaka: „Es esmu uzvarējis!“ Un lai mans pretinieks nelīksmo, kad es krītu.
6 Es ceru uz Tavu žēlastību, mana sirds ir līksma par Tavu palīdzību!
7 Es dziedāšu tam Kungam, ka Viņš man tik daudz laba dara!
