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?

PEHEA la ka loihi o kou hoopoina ana mai ia'u, e Iehova? I ka manawa pau ole anei? Pehea la ka loihi o kou hoonalo ana i kou maka ia'u?

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

Pehea la hoi ka loihi o ko'u kaukau ana iloko o ko'u uhane, Me ke kaniuhu iloko o ko'u naau i kela la a i keia la? Pehea la hoi ka loihi o ka hookiekie ana o ko'u enemi maluna o'u?

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

E manao mai, e Iehova, e ko'u Akua, e hoolohe mai ia'u, E hoomalamalama i ko'u mau maka, o hiamoe au i ka make;

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

O olelo mai paha kuu enemi, Ua lanakila au maluna ona; A hauoli no hoi ka poe i hana ino mai ia'u, ke haalulu au.

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

Aka hoi, ua hilinai aku au i kou aloha; E hauoli no hoi ko'u naau i kou ola.

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

E oli aku no au ia Iehova, No kona lokomaikai ana mai nei ia'u.
