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?

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana? Je, utanisahau milele? Utanificha uso wako mpaka lini?

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?

Nitapambana na mawazo yangu mpaka lini, na kila siku kuwa na majonzi moyoni mwangu? Adui zangu watanishinda mpaka lini?

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

Nitazame, unijibu, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu. Yatie nuru macho yangu, ama sivyo nitalala usingizi wa mauti.

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

Adui yangu atasema, “Nimemshinda,” nao adui zangu watashangilia nitakapoanguka.

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

Lakini ninategemea upendo wako usiokoma; moyo wangu unashangilia katika wokovu wako.

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

Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.
