Psalms 13

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

Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, nâtotouh maw na pahnim yungyoe han. Nâtotouh maw kai koehoi na minhmai na hro han rah.

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?

Kai teh, ka lung pou a mathoe. Nâtotouh ne kamadueng lungreithai hoi ka i han vai. Nâtotouh ne ka lathueng ka taran ni a kâoup han rah vai.

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

Oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, kangvawi nateh ka lawk hah na thai pouh haw. Ka mit ang sak haw. Hoehpawiteh, duenae patetlah ka ip payon vaih.

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

Hoehpawiteh, ka taran ni ahni ka tâ toe ati han doeh. Hoehpawiteh, ka kâroe navah, runae na kapoenaw a konawm awh langvaih.

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

Hatei, na lungmanae hah ka kâuep teh, na rungngangnae dawk ka lungthin a konawm han.

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

BAWIPA koe la ka sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lathueng ahawi tangngak.
