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?

Pak’ ombia, ry Iehovà? Ho haliño’o nainai’e hao iraho? Pak’ombia ty hañetaha’o laharañe amako?

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

Sikal’ombia ty hitsakoreako an-troko ao ty haoreako, ie añ’ovako ao lomoñandro? Ampara’ te ombia ty hañonjonañe ty rafelahikoo ambone ahy?

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

Vazohò, naho toiño iraho, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko; hazavao o masokoo; tsy mone hiroroako ty firoron-kavilasy;

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.

Vaho hanao ty hoe i rafelahikoy: rinebako re; ke hirebeha’ o malaiñ’ ahikoo t’ie mibolatitse.

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

Fe fiatoako ty figahiñan’ arofo’o; hirebeha’ ty troko i fandrombaha’oy.

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

Ho saboeko t’Iehovà, amy te nampibodobodoe’e.
