Psalmorum 13

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

To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? — for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

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

Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

3 usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

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

Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

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

And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy 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 do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!
