Psalms 13

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

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

2 How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

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

3 Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

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

4 lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

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

5 But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

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

6 I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

Ine ndidzayimbira Yehova pakuti wandichitira zokoma.
