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!
A Prayer for Help
1 How much longer will you forget me, Lord? Forever?
How much longer will you hide yourself from me?
2 How long must I endure trouble?
How long will sorrow fill my heart day and night?
How long will my enemies triumph over me?
3 Look at me, O Lord my God, and answer me.
Restore my strength; don't let me die.
4 Don't let my enemies say, “We have defeated him.”
Don't let them gloat over my downfall.
5 I rely on your constant love;
I will be glad, because you will rescue me.
6 I will sing to you, O Lord,
because you have been good to me.
