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.

Our translations: DUT
1 [Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen.] Herr, wie [lange]1 willst du mein so gar vergessen? Wie [lange]1 [verbirgst]2 du dein Antlitz vor mir? 2 [Wie lange]3 soll ich sorgen in meiner [Seele und]4 mich ängsten in meinem Herzen täglich? 3 [Wie lange]3 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]5 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]6 sich, daß du so gerne [hilfst]7. Ich will dem [Herrn]8 singen, daß er so wohl an mir tut.
