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?

in finem psalmus David usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me

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

quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea dolorem in corde meo per diem

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

usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

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

respice exaudi me Domine Deus meus inlumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in mortem

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

nequando dicat inimicus meus praevalui adversus eum qui tribulant me exultabunt si motus fuero

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

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi et psallam nomini Domini altissimi
