< Psalms 13 >
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana? Je, utanisahau milele? Utanificha uso wako mpaka lini?
2 How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?
Nitapambana na mawazo yangu mpaka lini, na kila siku kuwa na majonzi moyoni mwangu? Adui zangu watanishinda mpaka lini?
3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Nitazame, unijibu, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu. Yatie nuru macho yangu, ama sivyo nitalala usingizi wa mauti.
4 Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:
Adui yangu atasema, “Nimemshinda,” nao adui zangu watashangilia nitakapoanguka.
5 Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:
Lakini ninategemea upendo wako usiokoma; moyo wangu unashangilia katika wokovu wako.
6 But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.
