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?

[Psalm lal David] LEUM GOD, kom ac mulkinyula putaka? Ya kom ac mulkinyula ma pahtpat? Kom ac wikinkomla likiyu nwe ngac?

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

Putaka nga ac muteng mwe keok nu sik? Ac putaka insiuk ac toasrkin ma inge ke len ac fong? Putaka mwet lokoalok luk ac kutangyula?

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

Ngetma nu sik, O LEUM GOD luk, ac topukyu. Folokonak ku luk, ac tia lela nga in misa.

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

Nikmet lela tuh mwet lokoalok luk in fahk, “Kut kutangulla.” Nikmet lela elos in isrunyu ke munasla luk.

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

Nga lulalfongi na lungse pwaye lom; Nga ac fah insewowo mweyen kom ac fah moliyula.

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

Nga ac fah on nu sum, O LEUM GOD, Mweyen kom nuna wo nu sik.
