Translation by Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)
Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me
Language: Latin
Our translations: FRE
1 In finem. Psalmus David. Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem? usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me? 2 quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem? 3 usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me? 4 Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte; 5 nequando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero; 6 ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo. Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi; et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.

1 Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen. Herr, wie lange willst du mein so gar vergessen? Wie lange verbirgst du dein Antlitz vor mir? 2 Wie lange soll ich sorgen in meiner Seele und mich ängsten in meinem Herzen täglich? 3 Wie lange soll sich mein Feind über mich erheben? 4 Schaue doch und erhöre mich, Herr, mein Gott! Erleuchte meine Augen, daß ich nicht im Tode entschlafe, 5 daß nicht mein Feind rühme, er sei mein mächtig worden, und meine Widersacher sich nicht freuen, daß ich niederliege. 6 Ich hoffe aber darauf, daß du so gnädig bist; mein Herz freut sich, daß du so gerne hilfst. Ich will dem Herrn singen, daß er so wohl an mir tut.
