Psalms 13

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

[Psalm lal David] LEUM GOD, kom ac mulkinyula putaka? Ya kom ac mulkinyula ma pahtpat? Kom ac wikinkomla likiyu nwe ngac?

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?

Putaka nga ac muteng mwe keok nu sik? Ac putaka insiuk ac toasrkin ma inge ke len ac fong? Putaka mwet lokoalok luk ac kutangyula?

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

Ngetma nu sik, O LEUM GOD luk, ac topukyu. Folokonak ku luk, ac tia lela nga in misa.

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

Nikmet lela tuh mwet lokoalok luk in fahk, “Kut kutangulla.” Nikmet lela elos in isrunyu ke munasla luk.

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

Nga lulalfongi na lungse pwaye lom; Nga ac fah insewowo mweyen kom ac fah moliyula.

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

Nga ac fah on nu sum, O LEUM GOD, Mweyen kom nuna wo nu sik.
