الْمَزْمُورُ الثَّالِثَ عَشَرَ
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ
1إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ تَنْسَانِي؟ أَإِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ إِلَى مَتَى تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي؟ 2إِلَى مَتَى أَرْعَى هُمُوماً فِي نَفْسِي وَحُزْناً فِي قَلْبِي كُلَّ يَوْمٍ؟ إِلَى مَتَى يَتَشَامَخُ عَدُوِّي عَلَيَّ؟ 3انْظُرْ إِلَيَّ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِى وَاسْتَجِبْ لِي. أَنِرْ عَيْنَيَّ لِئَلّا أَنَامَ نَوْمَةَ الْمَوْتِ، 4فَيَقُولَ عَدُوِّي: قَدْ قَهَرْتُهُ؛ وَيَبْتَهِجَ خُصُومِي بِسُقُوطِي. 5غَيْرَ أَنِّي تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى رَحْمَتِكَ، فَيَبْتَهِجُ قَلْبِي حَقّاً بِخَلاصِكَ. 6أُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ غَمَرَنِي بِإِحْسَانِهِ الْعَمِيمِ.
Psalm 13In Hebrew texts 13:1-6 is numbered 13:2-6.
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1How long, Lord? Will you forget me for ever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3Look on me and answer, Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
4and my enemy will say, ‘I have overcome him,’
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6I will sing the Lord’s praise,
for he has been good to me.
