Psalms 13

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me? for ever? how long will you turn away your face from me?

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi.

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Yawe, kino tango nini okobosana ngai mpo na libela? Kino tango nini okobomba elongi na Yo mpo ete namona Yo te?

3 Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;

Kino tango nini nakozala mawa-mawa kati na motema na ngai mpe nakomitungisa mikolo nyonso? Kino tango nini monguna na ngai akolonga ngai?

4 lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, tala mpe yanola ngai. Sala ete miso na ngai emona malamu; soki te, nakokufa,

5 But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult in your salvation.

bongo monguna na ngai akoloba: « Nalongi ye, » mpe bayini na ngai bakosepela soki nakweyi.

6 I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.

Kasi ngai, natie elikya na ngai kati na bolingo na Yo, mpe motema na ngai ezali kosepela kati na lobiko na Yo. Nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, pamba te asaleli ngai bolamu.
