To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?*13.1 chief…: or, overseer

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

要到永远吗？

你掩面不顾我，要到几时呢？

2 我心里筹算不安，内心终日愁苦，要到几时呢？

我的仇敌胜过我，要到几时呢？

3 耶和华我的　神啊！求你看顾我，应允我；

求你使我的眼睛明亮，免得我沉睡至死；

4 免得我的仇敌说："我胜过了他"；

免得我跌倒的时候我的敌人就欢呼。

5 至于我，我倚靠你的慈爱，

我的心必因你的救恩欢呼。

6 我要歌颂耶和华，因他以厚恩待我。*本章第5~6节在《马索拉文本》为13:6
