Psalms 13

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Until when, O YHWH, Do You forget me forever? Until when do You hide Your face from me?

Koze kube nini, Nkosi, ungikhohlwa kokuphela? Koze kube nini ungifihlela ubuso bakho?

2 Until when do I set counsels in my soul, [With] sorrow in my heart daily? Until when is my enemy exalted over me?

Koze kube nini ngizicebisa emphefumulweni wami, ngilosizi enhliziyweni yami insuku zonke? Koze kube nini isitha sami siphakanyiswa phezu kwami?

3 Look attentively; Answer me, O YHWH, my God, Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Khangela, ungiphendule, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami; khanyisa amehlo ami hlezi ngilale ubuthongo bokufa,

4 Lest my enemy say, “I overcame him,” My adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

hlezi isitha sami sithi: Sengimehlule; labangihluphayo bathokoze lapho nginyikinywa.

5 And I have trusted in Your kindness, My heart rejoices in Your salvation.

Kodwa mina ngithembele emuseni wakho, inhliziyo yami izathaba ngosindiso lwakho.

6 I sing to YHWH, For He has conferred benefits on me!

Ngizayihlabelela iNkosi, ngoba ingenzele okuhle kakhulu.
