Psalms 13

1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me continually! 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 have to devise resolves in my soul, with grief in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?

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

3 Look down, answer me, O Lord my God! enlighten my eyes, that I may not sleep the sleep of death;

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

4 That my enemy may not say, I have overcome him; that my assailants may not be glad when I am moved.

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

5 But I trust in thy kindness, let my heart be glad because of 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.
