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?

Pak’ ombia, ry Iehovà? Ho haliño’o nainai’e hao iraho? Pak’ombia ty hañetaha’o laharañe amako?

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

Sikal’ombia ty hitsakoreako an-troko ao ty haoreako, ie añ’ovako ao lomoñandro? Ampara’ te ombia ty hañonjonañe ty rafelahikoo ambone ahy?

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

Vazohò, naho toiño iraho, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko; hazavao o masokoo; tsy mone hiroroako ty firoron-kavilasy;

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

Vaho hanao ty hoe i rafelahikoy: rinebako re; ke hirebeha’ o malaiñ’ ahikoo t’ie mibolatitse.

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

Fe fiatoako ty figahiñan’ arofo’o; hirebeha’ ty troko i fandrombaha’oy.

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

Ho saboeko t’Iehovà, amy te nampibodobodoe’e.
