Psalms 13

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Howe long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for euer? howe long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

In finem, Psalmus David. Usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem? Usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?

2 How long shall I take counsell within my selfe, hauing wearinesse dayly in mine heart? how long shall mine enemie be exalted aboue me?

Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem?

3 Beholde, and heare mee, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleepe not in death:

Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

4 Lest mine enemie say, I haue preuailed against him: and they that afflict me, reioyce when I slide.

respice, et exaudi me Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in morte:

5 But I trust in thy mercie: mine heart shall reioyce in thy saluation:

ne quando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me, exultabunt si motus fuero:

6 I will sing to the Lord, because he hath delt louingly with me.

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo: cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi: et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.
