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?

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo? Uzangikhohlwa lanininini na? Koze kube nini ungifihlela ubuso bakho na?

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?

Koze kube nini ngitshukumisana lemicabango yami, inhliziyo yami ihlale idabukile insuku zonke na? Koze kube nini isitha sami sitshakala phezu kwami?

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

Ngizwela ungiphendule, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami. Khanyisela amehlo ami funa ngihle ngilale kokuphela;

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

isitha sami sizakuthi, “Sengimehlule,” labangizondayo bathokoze nxa ngisiwa.

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

Kodwa ngiyalwethemba uthando lwabo olungapheliyo; inhliziyo yami iyathokoza ngensindiso yakho.

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

Ngizahlabelela kuThixo, ngoba ungenzele ukulunga.
