Psalms 13

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, hamma yoomiitti? Ati hamma bara baraatti na irraanfattaa? Hamma yoomiittis fuula kee na duraa dhoksita?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

Ani hamma yoomiittin rakkina obsee guyyaa guutuu garaa koo keessatti gadda? Hamma yoomiitti diinni koo narra aana?

3 Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, na ilaali; deebii illee naa kenni. Akka ani hirriba duʼaa hin rafneefis ija kootiif ifa kenni;

4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

diinni koo, “Ani isa moʼadheera” jedha; amajaajiiwwan koos kufaatii kootti gammadu.

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

Ani garuu araara kee nan amanadha; garaan koos fayyisuu keetti ni gammada.

6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.

Ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; arjummaan isaa naa baayʼateeraatii.
