Psalms 13

1 How long will you forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long will you hide your face from me?

Psalmus David, in finem. 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 daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem?

3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

respice, et exaudi me Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in morte:

5 But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

ne quando dicat inimicus meus: Praevalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me, exultabunt si motus fuero:

6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has 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.
