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?

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, hamma yoomiitti? Ati hamma bara baraatti na irraanfattaa? Hamma yoomiittis fuula kee na duraa dhoksita?

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?

Ani hamma yoomiittin rakkina obsee guyyaa guutuu garaa koo keessatti gadda? Hamma yoomiitti diinni koo narra aana?

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

Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, na ilaali; deebii illee naa kenni. Akka ani hirriba duʼaa hin rafneefis ija kootiif ifa kenni;

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

diinni koo, “Ani isa moʼadheera” jedha; amajaajiiwwan koos kufaatii kootti gammadu.

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

Ani garuu araara kee nan amanadha; garaan koos fayyisuu keetti ni gammada.

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

Ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; arjummaan isaa naa baayʼateeraatii.
