Psalms 13

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

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

2 How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?

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

3 Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, —Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him! and, mine adversaries, exult, that I totter.

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

5 But, I, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, My heart shall exult in thy salvation:

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

6 I will sing to Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully 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.
