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?

Mpaka lini, Yahweh, utaendelea kunisahau? Ni kwa muda gani utauficha uso wako nisiuone?

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?

Ni kwa muda gani nitalazimika kuhofu na kuhuzunika moyoni mwangu kila siku? Ni kwa muda gani adui zangu watanishida?

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

Unitazame na unijibu, Yahwe Mungu wangu! Nipe mwanga machoni pangu, vinginevyo nitalala katika mauti.

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

Usimuache adui yangu aseme, “Nimemshinda huyu,” ili kwamba asiweze kusema, “Nimemtawala adui yangu;” la sivyo, maadui zangu watafurahia nitakapo shushwa chini.

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

Lakini nimeamini katika uaminifu wa agano lako; moyo wangu wafurahia katika wokovu wako.

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

Nitamuimbia Yahwe kwa kuwa ameniganga kwa ukarimu kabisa.
