Mikoron Dávid nagy búsultában

Representative Text

HUNGARIAN -
1 Mikoron Dávid nagy búsultában,
baráti miatt volna bánatban,
panaszolkodván nagy haragjában,
Ilyen könyörgést kezde ő magában:

2 Istenem Uram kérlek én téged,
fordítsad reám szent szemeidet:
Nagy szükségemben ne hagyj engemet,
mert megemészti nagy bánat szívemet.

3 Te azért, lelkem, gondolatodat,
Istenbe vessed bizodalmadat:
Rólad elvészi minden terhedet
És meghallgatja te könyörgésidet.

Author: Mihály Kecskeméti Vég

Hungarian Protestant author, 16th century. Little is known of his life. His translation of Psalm 54/55 stands out in its powerful imagery. This translation, made sometime between 1561 and 1567, was used by Zoltán Kodály in his Psalmus Hungaricus (1923).  Go to person page >
