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?

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
