Psalms 13

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

in finem psalmus David usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea dolorem in corde meo per diem

3 Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

respice exaudi me Domine Deus meus inlumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in mortem

5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

nequando dicat inimicus meus praevalui adversus eum qui tribulant me exultabunt si motus fuero

6 I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi et psallam nomini Domini altissimi
