Psalmorum 13

1 In finem, Psalmus David. Usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem? Usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?

How long will you forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long will you hide your face from me?

2 Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem?

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

3 Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Respice, et exaudi me Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in morte:

Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 ne quando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me, exultabunt si motus fuero:

But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

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

I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
