Psalmorum 13

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

For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me? for ever? how long will you turn away 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] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;

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

lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

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

But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult 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 who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
