Psalms 13

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Konbe tan ankò w'a bliye m', Seyè? Gen lè ou bliye m' nèt? Konbe tan ankò m'a rete san m' pa wè ou?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Konbe tan ankò pou m' soufri? Konbe tan ankò pou m' gen lapenn nan kè mwen, pou m' gen lapenn lajounen kou lannwit? Konbe tan ankò lènmi m' yo va pilonnen m' anba pye yo?

3 Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

Gade m' non, Seyè! Reponn mwen non, Bondye mwen! Kenbe m' pou m' pa mouri.

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.

Konsa, moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo p'ap ka di: Nou fini avè l'! Yo p'ap gen chans wè m' tonbe pou yo kontan!

5 As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

Pou mwen menm, se sou ou mwen konte, paske ou renmen m' anpil. Kè m' kontan, paske ou delivre mwen.

6 I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.

M'ap chante pou Seyè a, paske li te bon pou mwen.
