Psalms 13

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn away from me?

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, nasetto maw nang pahnet han vop? Nang pahnet poe han boeh maw? Nasetto maw kai khae hoiah mikhmai na hawk han vop?

2 How long must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious over me?

Kai loe ni thokkruek nasetto maw palung ka set moe, nasetto maw khopoekhaih hoiah ka oh han vop? Ka misa mah nasetto maw na uk vop tih?

3 Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength, otherwise I'm going to die,

Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, ka lok hae tahngai ah loe, na pathim ah: ka mik hae amtuengsak ah, to tih ai nahaeloe duekhaih hoiah ka iip poe moeng tih;

4 and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.

to naah ka misanawk mah, Anih loe ka pazawk boeh, tiah na naa o ueloe, kam tim naah kai raihaih paek kaminawk anghoe o moeng tih.

5 But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.

Toe kai loe nam lunghaih tang kami ah ka oh; na pahlonghaih pongah kai ih palungthin anghoe tih.

6 I will sing to the Lord because he has treated me with such generosity!

Anih loe ka nuiah paroeai hoih pongah, Angraeng khaeah laa ka sak han.
