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?

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Konbe tan ankò w'a bliye m', Seyè? Gen lè ou bliye m' nèt? Konbe tan ankò m'a rete san m' pa wè ou?

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

Konbe tan ankò pou m' soufri? Konbe tan ankò pou m' gen lapenn nan kè mwen, pou m' gen lapenn lajounen kou lannwit? Konbe tan ankò lènmi m' yo va pilonnen m' anba pye yo?

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

Gade m' non, Seyè! Reponn mwen non, Bondye mwen! Kenbe m' pou m' pa mouri.

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

Konsa, moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo p'ap ka di: Nou fini avè l'! Yo p'ap gen chans wè m' tonbe pou yo kontan!

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

Pou mwen menm, se sou ou mwen konte, paske ou renmen m' anpil. Kè m' kontan, paske ou delivre mwen.

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

M'ap chante pou Seyè a, paske li te bon pou mwen.
