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?

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, nasetto maw nang pahnet han vop? Nang pahnet poe han boeh maw? Nasetto maw kai khae hoiah mikhmai na hawk han vop?

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

Kai loe ni thokkruek nasetto maw palung ka set moe, nasetto maw khopoekhaih hoiah ka oh han vop? Ka misa mah nasetto maw na uk vop tih?

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

Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, ka lok hae tahngai ah loe, na pathim ah: ka mik hae amtuengsak ah, to tih ai nahaeloe duekhaih hoiah ka iip poe moeng tih;

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

to naah ka misanawk mah, Anih loe ka pazawk boeh, tiah na naa o ueloe, kam tim naah kai raihaih paek kaminawk anghoe o moeng tih.

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

Toe kai loe nam lunghaih tang kami ah ka oh; na pahlonghaih pongah kai ih palungthin anghoe tih.

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

Anih loe ka nuiah paroeai hoih pongah, Angraeng khaeah laa ka sak han.
