Dee 13 Psalm

To daen Haupt Musikaunt, en Psalm fonn Doft.

Woo lang woascht du fonn mie fejäte, O Herr Gott? Fa emma? Woo lang woascht du dien Jesejcht fonn mie festäakje?

Woo lang saul ekj Rot näme enn miene Seel, un jieda Dach Trua ha enn mien Hoat? Woo lang saul mien Fient fäajetrocke woare fer mie?

Kjikj! Jeff mie Auntwuat, O Herr Gott, mien Gott. Doo miene Uage oppdache, daut ekj nijch ennschlop emm Doot;

Daut mien Fient nijch meteemol sajcht: "Ekj ha jewonne äwe am," un miene Fiend sikj freihe wan ekj fescheddat sie.

Oba ekj ha enn dien Erboarme Toofetruehe jehaut; mien Hoat woat sikj freihe enn diene Radunk.

Ekj woa to däm Herr Gott sinje, wiels hee mie beloont haft.

Psalm 13[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

How long,(A) Lord? Will you forget me(B) forever?
    How long will you hide your face(C) from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts(D)
    and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
    How long will my enemy triumph over me?(E)

Look on me(F) and answer,(G) Lord my God.
    Give light to my eyes,(H) or I will sleep in death,(I)
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,(J)
    and my foes will rejoice when I fall.(K)

But I trust in your unfailing love;(L)
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.(M)
I will sing(N) the Lord’s praise,
    for he has been good to me.
