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?

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo? Uzangikhohlwa lanininini na? Koze kube nini ungifihlela ubuso bakho na?

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

Koze kube nini ngitshukumisana lemicabango yami, inhliziyo yami ihlale idabukile insuku zonke na? Koze kube nini isitha sami sitshakala phezu kwami?

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

Ngizwela ungiphendule, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami. Khanyisela amehlo ami funa ngihle ngilale kokuphela;

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

isitha sami sizakuthi, “Sengimehlule,” labangizondayo bathokoze nxa ngisiwa.

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

Kodwa ngiyalwethemba uthando lwabo olungapheliyo; inhliziyo yami iyathokoza ngensindiso yakho.

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

Ngizahlabelela kuThixo, ngoba ungenzele ukulunga.
