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?

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana? Je, utanisahau milele? Utanificha uso wako mpaka lini?

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?

Nitapambana na mawazo yangu mpaka lini, na kila siku kuwa na majonzi moyoni mwangu? Adui zangu watanishinda mpaka lini?

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

Nitazame, unijibu, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu. Yatie nuru macho yangu, ama sivyo nitalala usingizi wa mauti.

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

Adui yangu atasema, “Nimemshinda,” nao adui zangu watashangilia nitakapoanguka.

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

Lakini ninategemea upendo wako usiokoma; moyo wangu unashangilia katika wokovu wako.

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

Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.
