Psalms 13

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

Mpaka lini, Yahweh, utaendelea kunisahau? Ni kwa muda gani utauficha uso wako nisiuone?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Ni kwa muda gani nitalazimika kuhofu na kuhuzunika moyoni mwangu kila siku? Ni kwa muda gani adui zangu watanishida?

3 Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep [the sleep] of death;

Unitazame na unijibu, Yahwe Mungu wangu! Nipe mwanga machoni pangu, vinginevyo nitalala katika mauti.

4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

Usimuache adui yangu aseme, “Nimemshinda huyu,” ili kwamba asiweze kusema, “Nimemtawala adui yangu;” la sivyo, maadui zangu watafurahia nitakapo shushwa chini.

5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

Lakini nimeamini katika uaminifu wa agano lako; moyo wangu wafurahia katika wokovu wako.

6 I will sing to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Nitamuimbia Yahwe kwa kuwa ameniganga kwa ukarimu kabisa.
