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?

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana? Je, utanisahau milele? Utanificha uso wako mpaka lini?

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

Nitapambana na mawazo yangu mpaka lini, na kila siku kuwa na majonzi moyoni mwangu? Adui zangu watanishinda mpaka lini?

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

Nitazame, unijibu, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu. Yatie nuru macho yangu, ama sivyo nitalala usingizi wa mauti.

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

Adui yangu atasema, “Nimemshinda,” nao adui zangu watashangilia nitakapoanguka.

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

Lakini ninategemea upendo wako usiokoma; moyo wangu unashangilia katika wokovu wako.

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

Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.
