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?

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo? Uzangikhohlwa lanininini na? Koze kube nini ungifihlela ubuso bakho na?

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?

Koze kube nini ngitshukumisana lemicabango yami, inhliziyo yami ihlale idabukile insuku zonke na? Koze kube nini isitha sami sitshakala phezu kwami?

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

Ngizwela ungiphendule, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami. Khanyisela amehlo ami funa ngihle ngilale kokuphela;

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

isitha sami sizakuthi, “Sengimehlule,” labangizondayo bathokoze nxa ngisiwa.

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

Kodwa ngiyalwethemba uthando lwabo olungapheliyo; inhliziyo yami iyathokoza ngensindiso yakho.

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

Ngizahlabelela kuThixo, ngoba ungenzele ukulunga.
