Psalms 13

1 Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

Koze kube nini, Nkosi, ungikhohlwa kokuphela? Koze kube nini ungifihlela ubuso bakho?

2 How long must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

Koze kube nini ngizicebisa emphefumulweni wami, ngilosizi enhliziyweni yami insuku zonke? Koze kube nini isitha sami siphakanyiswa phezu kwami?

3 Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

Khangela, ungiphendule, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami; khanyisa amehlo ami hlezi ngilale ubuthongo bokufa,

4 Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

hlezi isitha sami sithi: Sengimehlule; labangihluphayo bathokoze lapho nginyikinywa.

5 But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

Kodwa mina ngithembele emuseni wakho, inhliziyo yami izathaba ngosindiso lwakho.

6 Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.

Ngizayihlabelela iNkosi, ngoba ingenzele okuhle kakhulu.
