Psalms 13

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD, wilt Thou forget me for ever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, nasetto maw nang pahnet han vop? Nang pahnet poe han boeh maw? Nasetto maw kai khae hoiah mikhmai na hawk han vop?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart by day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Kai loe ni thokkruek nasetto maw palung ka set moe, nasetto maw khopoekhaih hoiah ka oh han vop? Ka misa mah nasetto maw na uk vop tih?

3 Behold Thou, and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, ka lok hae tahngai ah loe, na pathim ah: ka mik hae amtuengsak ah, to tih ai nahaeloe duekhaih hoiah ka iip poe moeng tih;

4 Lest mine enemy say: 'I have prevailed against him'; lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

to naah ka misanawk mah, Anih loe ka pazawk boeh, tiah na naa o ueloe, kam tim naah kai raihaih paek kaminawk anghoe o moeng tih.

5 But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.

Toe kai loe nam lunghaih tang kami ah ka oh; na pahlonghaih pongah kai ih palungthin anghoe tih.

6 I will sing unto the LORD, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.

Anih loe ka nuiah paroeai hoih pongah, Angraeng khaeah laa ka sak han.
