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?

[Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung] Aw BOEIPA, mevaeng hil nim kai nan hnilh yoeyah ve? Mevaeng hil nim na maelhmai te kai taeng lamkah na thuh ve?

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?

Mevaeng hil nim ka thinko kah hnin takuem kothae la ka hinglu he cilsuep ka dul hawl ve? Mevaeng hil nim kai sokah ka thunkha loh caemthang a rhuk ve?

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

Aw ka BOEIPA Pathen paelki lamtah kai he n'doo dae. Ka mik mah han tueng sak dueknah khuila ka ip ve.

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

Ka thunkha loh, “Anih ka na coeng,” a ti vetih ka bung vaengah ka rhal rhoek te omngaih uh ve.

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

Tedae kai tah na sitlohnah dongah ka pangtung tih namah kah khangnah dongah ka lungbuei omngaih.

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

BOEIPA te kai ham a then dongah ka hlai ni.
