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?

Mpaka lini, Yahweh, utaendelea kunisahau? Ni kwa muda gani utauficha uso wako nisiuone?

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

Ni kwa muda gani nitalazimika kuhofu na kuhuzunika moyoni mwangu kila siku? Ni kwa muda gani adui zangu watanishida?

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

Unitazame na unijibu, Yahwe Mungu wangu! Nipe mwanga machoni pangu, vinginevyo nitalala katika mauti.

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

Usimuache adui yangu aseme, “Nimemshinda huyu,” ili kwamba asiweze kusema, “Nimemtawala adui yangu;” la sivyo, maadui zangu watafurahia nitakapo shushwa chini.

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

Lakini nimeamini katika uaminifu wa agano lako; moyo wangu wafurahia katika wokovu wako.

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

Nitamuimbia Yahwe kwa kuwa ameniganga kwa ukarimu kabisa.
