Psalms 13

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me? for ever? how long will you turn away your face from me?

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

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

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

3 Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;

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

4 lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

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 hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult in your salvation.

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

6 I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.

Nitamuimbia Yahwe kwa kuwa ameniganga kwa ukarimu kabisa.
