(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 Korvedim. Dāvida psalms .
2 Cik ilgi vēl, Kungs, tu mani aizmirsīsi,
cik ilgi tu slēpsi savu vaigu no manis?
3 Cik ilgi vēl glabāšu dvēselē rūpes
un sirdī raizes – tā cauru dienu?
Cik ilgi vēl celsies naidnieks pār mani?
4 Raugies šurp!
Atbildi man, Kungs, mans Dievs!
Dod gaišumu acīm, lai neaizmiegu nāvē!
5 Lai neteic mans naidnieks: pieveicu šo!
Lai nelīksmo pretinieki, ka es klūpu.
6 Bet es – tavai žēlastībai es uzticos,
līksmo man sirds, ka tevis glābta!
Es dziedāšu Kungam, jo viņš man dāsns!
