Masalimo 13

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mpaka liti Yehova? Kodi mudzandiyiwala mpaka kalekale? Mpaka liti mudzandibisira nkhope yanu?

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Howe long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for euer? howe long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Ndidzalimbana ndi maganizo anga ndi kukhala ndi chisoni mu mtima mwanga tsiku lililonse mpaka liti? Mpaka liti adani anga adzandipambana?

How long shall I take counsell within my selfe, hauing wearinesse dayly in mine heart? how long shall mine enemie be exalted aboue me?

3 Ndiyangʼaneni ndi kundiyankha, Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga. Walitsani maso anga kuti ndingafe;

Beholde, and heare mee, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleepe not in death:

4 mdani wanga adzati, “Ndamugonjetsa,” ndipo adani anga adzakondwera pamene ine ndagwa.

Lest mine enemie say, I haue preuailed against him: and they that afflict me, reioyce when I slide.

5 Koma ndikudalira chikondi chanu chosasinthika; mtima wanga umakondwera ndi chipulumutso chanu.

But I trust in thy mercie: mine heart shall reioyce in thy saluation:

6 Ine ndidzayimbira Yehova pakuti wandichitira zokoma.

I will sing to the Lord, because he hath delt louingly with me.
