Psalms 13

1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Yhwh? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

In finem. Psalmus David. [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 mine enemy be exalted over me?

quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem?

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

usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

4 Lest mine 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 thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

nequando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero;

6 I will sing unto Yhwh, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo. Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi; et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.]
