Psalm XIII
Language: Hebrew (עברית)
א לַמְנַצֵּחַ, מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד. ב עַד-אָנָה יְהוָה, תִּשְׁכָּחֵנִי נֶצַח; עַד-אָנָה, תַּסְתִּיר אֶת-פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי. ג עַד-אָנָה אָשִׁית עֵצוֹת, בְּנַפְשִׁי-- יָגוֹן בִּלְבָבִי יוֹמָם; עַד-אָנָה, יָרוּם אֹיְבִי עָלָי. ד הַבִּיטָה עֲנֵנִי, יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי; הָאִירָה עֵינַי, פֶּן-אִישַׁן הַמָּוֶת. ה פֶּן-יֹאמַר אֹיְבִי יְכָלְתִּיו; צָרַי יָגִילוּ, כִּי אֶמּוֹט. ו וַאֲנִי, בְּחַסְדְּךָ בָטַחְתִּי-- יָגֵל לִבִּי, בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ: אָשִׁירָה לַיהוָה, כִּי גָמַל עָלָי.

Der 13. Psalm Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Hebrew (עברית)
1. Dem Sangmeister, ein Psalm Davids.
2. Ach, Herr! wie lange willst du mein so ganz vergessen?
Wie lange noch dein Antlitz mir verbergen?
3. Wie lange muß ich meinen Geist mit Sinnen,
Mein Herz mit Sorgen täglich quälen?
Wie lange noch mein Feind obsiegen?
* * *
4. Schau herab! erhöre mich! Ach Ewiger! mein Gott!
Erleuchte meine Augen wieder,
Daß ich des Todes nicht entschlafe.
5. Sonst spricht mein Feind: "den überwand ich!"
Frohlocken Widersacher meines Falles.
* * *
6. Doch ich vertraue deiner Güte,
Mein Herz frohlockt, ob deiner Hülfe,
Dem Ewigen singe ich; denn er that mir wohl.
