Psalms 13

1 How long, Adonai? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

Aw Bawipa, handy hly nu? Kai na nim hilh hly loet hawh nawh nu? Handy nu na haai na thuh kaw.

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?

Handy awh kawpoek ingqawi kqak qu nih nawh myngawi kawseet ing ka awm loet kaw? Handy nu ka qaalkhqi ing kai ami noeng kaw?

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

Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, ni toek nawhtaw nim hlat lah. Kamik ve dai law sak lah, cek kaa mantaw thihnaak ing ip loet hawh kawng nyng;

4 Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

Cawhtaw ka qaalkhqi ing, “Noeng hawh nyng,” ni tina kawm usaw, kang tluk awh ce ka qaalkhqi zeel hawh kawm uh.

5 But I trust in your chesed ·loving-kindness·. My heart rejoices in your yishu'ah ·salvation·.

Cehlai, amak dyt thai na lungnaak ce cangna nyng; na hulnaak awh kak kawlung zeel hy.

6 I will sing to Adonai, because he has been good to me.

Kak khan awh leek saw, Bawipa venawh laa sa vang nyng.
