1 Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen. 
  Herr, wie lange willst du mein so gar vergessen?
  Wie lange verbirgest 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 freuet sich, daß du so gerne hilfst.
  Ich will dem Herren singen, daß er so wohl an mir tut.

De 13e psalm (Heer, hoe lang nog)

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

1 Heer! Hoe lang nog zult gij mij geheel vergeten?
  Hoe lang nog uw aangezicht verbergen voor mij?
2 Hoe lang nog moet ik dragen mijn diepe zorgen
  En met angsten mij kwellen alle dagen?
3 Hoe lang nog zal zich mijn vijand
 boven mij verheffen?
4 Zie toch toe en verhoor mij toch, Heer mijn God!
  Geef licht weer aan mijn ogen, dat ik niet de doodsslaap ten prooi val.
5 Laat niet mijn vijand
 pochen: 'Ik heb hem overwonnen!'
  En laat mijn tegenstanders blij niet wezen/zijn
 
  dat ik lig verslagen. 
6 Mijn hoop is echter deze, dat Gij genadig zijt;
  Verheugd is mijn hart, dat Gij zo gaarne helpt.
  Ik wil de Heer toezingen, dat Hij zo goed voor mij is.
