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?

Aw Bawipa, handy hly nu? Kai na nim hilh hly loet hawh nawh nu? Handy nu na haai na thuh kaw.

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

Handy awh kawpoek ingqawi kqak qu nih nawh myngawi kawseet ing ka awm loet kaw? Handy nu ka qaalkhqi ing kai ami noeng kaw?

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

Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, ni toek nawhtaw nim hlat lah. Kamik ve dai law sak lah, cek kaa mantaw thihnaak ing ip loet hawh kawng nyng;

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

Cawhtaw ka qaalkhqi ing, “Noeng hawh nyng,” ni tina kawm usaw, kang tluk awh ce ka qaalkhqi zeel hawh kawm uh.

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

Cehlai, amak dyt thai na lungnaak ce cangna nyng; na hulnaak awh kak kawlung zeel hy.

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

Kak khan awh leek saw, Bawipa venawh laa sa vang nyng.
