Psalms 13

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] How long, Jehovah? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Konbe tan ankò w'a bliye m', Seyè? Gen lè ou bliye m' nèt? Konbe tan ankò m'a rete san m' pa wè ou?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

Konbe tan ankò pou m' soufri? Konbe tan ankò pou m' gen lapenn nan kè mwen, pou m' gen lapenn lajounen kou lannwit? Konbe tan ankò lènmi m' yo va pilonnen m' anba pye yo?

3 Look, and answer me, Jehovah, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

Gade m' non, Seyè! Reponn mwen non, Bondye mwen! Kenbe m' pou m' pa mouri.

4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

Konsa, moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo p'ap ka di: Nou fini avè l'! Yo p'ap gen chans wè m' tonbe pou yo kontan!

5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

Pou mwen menm, se sou ou mwen konte, paske ou renmen m' anpil. Kè m' kontan, paske ou delivre mwen.

6 I will sing to Jehovah, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of Jehovah Most High.

M'ap chante pou Seyè a, paske li te bon pou mwen.
