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?

In finem, Psalmus David. Usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem? Usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?

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?

Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem?

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

Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

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

Respice, et exaudi me Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in morte:

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

ne quando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me, exultabunt si motus fuero:

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

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo: cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi: et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.
