Psalms 13

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, nâtotouh maw na pahnim yungyoe han. Nâtotouh maw kai koehoi na minhmai na hro han rah.

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Kai teh, ka lung pou a mathoe. Nâtotouh ne kamadueng lungreithai hoi ka i han vai. Nâtotouh ne ka lathueng ka taran ni a kâoup han rah vai.

3 Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

Oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, kangvawi nateh ka lawk hah na thai pouh haw. Ka mit ang sak haw. Hoehpawiteh, duenae patetlah ka ip payon vaih.

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.

Hoehpawiteh, ka taran ni ahni ka tâ toe ati han doeh. Hoehpawiteh, ka kâroe navah, runae na kapoenaw a konawm awh langvaih.

5 As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

Hatei, na lungmanae hah ka kâuep teh, na rungngangnae dawk ka lungthin a konawm han.

6 I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.

BAWIPA koe la ka sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lathueng ahawi tangngak.
