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?

Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Kusvikira riniko, nhai Jehovha? Muchandikanganwa nokusingaperi here? Muchasvika riniko makandivanzira chiso chenyu?

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

Ndichaita mutsimba nepfungwa dzangu kusvikira riniko, uye ndine shungu mumwoyo mangu zuva rimwe nerimwe? Muvengi wangu achandikurira kusvikira riniko?

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

Tarirai kwandiri mugondipindura, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu. Vhenekerai meso angu, kana kuti ndichafa ndakarara;

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

muvengi wangu achati, “Ndamukurira ndamukunda,” uye vadzivisi vangu vachapembera kana ndawa.

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

Asi ini ndinovimba norudo rwenyu rusingaperi; mwoyo wangu unofarira ruponeso rwenyu.

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

Ndichaimbira Jehovha, nokuti akandinakira.
