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?

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida.

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

Jehovah ô, mandra-pahoviana no mbola hanadinoanao ahy ihany? Mandra-pahoviana no mbola hanafenanao ny tavanao amiko?

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

Mandra-pahoviana no mbola hisaintsainako am-panahy, sy hahalahelovako am-po isan’ andro? Mandra-pahoviana no mbola hisandratan’ ny fahavaloko ho amboniko?

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

Jereo aho ka valio, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô; ampahazavao ny mazoto, fandrao renoky ny torimaso fahafatesana aho;

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

Fandrao ny fahavaloko hanao hoe: naharesy azy aho, fandrao hifaly ny rafilahiko, raha mangozohozo aho.

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

Fa raha izaho kosa, dia ny famindram-ponao no itokiako; ho faly amin’ ny famonjenao ny foko. Hihira ho an’ i Jehovah aho, satria nanisy soa ahy Izy;
