Psalms 13

1 How long, O Jehovah? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, nâtotouh maw na pahnim yungyoe han. Nâtotouh maw kai koehoi na minhmai na hro han rah.

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Kai teh, ka lung pou a mathoe. Nâtotouh ne kamadueng lungreithai hoi ka i han vai. Nâtotouh ne ka lathueng ka taran ni a kâoup han rah vai.

3 Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

Oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, kangvawi nateh ka lawk hah na thai pouh haw. Ka mit ang sak haw. Hoehpawiteh, duenae patetlah ka ip payon vaih.

4 lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

Hoehpawiteh, ka taran ni ahni ka tâ toe ati han doeh. Hoehpawiteh, ka kâroe navah, runae na kapoenaw a konawm awh langvaih.

5 But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

Hatei, na lungmanae hah ka kâuep teh, na rungngangnae dawk ka lungthin a konawm han.

6 I will sing to Jehovah because he has dealt bountifully with me.

BAWIPA koe la ka sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lathueng ahawi tangngak.
