Psalms 13

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” How long, O LORD! wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

In finem, Psalmus David. Usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem? Usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?

2 How long shall I have anxiety in my soul for ever, And sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem?

3 Look down and hear me, O LORD, my God! Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

4 Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him!” Lest my adversaries rejoice, when I am fallen.

Respice, et exaudi me Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in morte:

5 Yet will I trust in thy goodness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation;

ne quando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me, exultabunt si motus fuero:

6 I will sing to the LORD, that he hath dealt kindly with me.

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo: cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi: et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.
