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?

Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Kusvikira riniko, nhai Jehovha? Muchandikanganwa nokusingaperi here? Muchasvika riniko makandivanzira chiso chenyu?

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?

Ndichaita mutsimba nepfungwa dzangu kusvikira riniko, uye ndine shungu mumwoyo mangu zuva rimwe nerimwe? Muvengi wangu achandikurira kusvikira riniko?

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

Tarirai kwandiri mugondipindura, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu. Vhenekerai meso angu, kana kuti ndichafa ndakarara;

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

muvengi wangu achati, “Ndamukurira ndamukunda,” uye vadzivisi vangu vachapembera kana ndawa.

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

Asi ini ndinovimba norudo rwenyu rusingaperi; mwoyo wangu unofarira ruponeso rwenyu.

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

Ndichaimbira Jehovha, nokuti akandinakira.
