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?

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi.

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

Yawe, kino tango nini okobosana ngai mpo na libela? Kino tango nini okobomba elongi na Yo mpo ete namona Yo te?

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

Kino tango nini nakozala mawa-mawa kati na motema na ngai mpe nakomitungisa mikolo nyonso? Kino tango nini monguna na ngai akolonga ngai?

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

Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, tala mpe yanola ngai. Sala ete miso na ngai emona malamu; soki te, nakokufa,

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

bongo monguna na ngai akoloba: « Nalongi ye, » mpe bayini na ngai bakosepela soki nakweyi.

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

Kasi ngai, natie elikya na ngai kati na bolingo na Yo, mpe motema na ngai ezali kosepela kati na lobiko na Yo. Nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, pamba te asaleli ngai bolamu.
