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?

in finem psalmus David usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me

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?

quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea dolorem in corde meo per diem

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

usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

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

respice exaudi me Domine Deus meus inlumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in mortem

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

nequando dicat inimicus meus praevalui adversus eum qui tribulant me exultabunt si motus fuero

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