Masalimo 13

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] How long, Jehovah? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your 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 counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

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

Look, and answer me, Jehovah, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

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

Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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

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

6 Ine ndidzayimbira Yehova pakuti wandichitira zokoma.

I will sing to Jehovah, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of Jehovah Most High.
