Psalms 13

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. How long, Yahweh, will you keep forgetting about me? How long will you hide your face from me?

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

2 How long must I worry and have grief in my heart all day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

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

3 Look at me and answer me, Yahweh my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.

Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

4 Do not let my enemy say, “I have defeated him,” so that my enemy may not say, “I have prevailed over my adversary”; otherwise, my enemies will rejoice when I am brought down.

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

5 But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

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

6 I will sing to Yahweh because he has treated me very generously.

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