Psalms 13

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your 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 take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

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

3 Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

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

4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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

5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

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

6 I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.

Ngizahlabelela kuThixo, ngoba ungenzele ukulunga.
