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!
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.
