Psalms 13

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

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

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?

Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem?

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

Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

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

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

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

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

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

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo: cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi: et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.
