Psalms 13

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? — for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

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

2 Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem?

3 Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

4 Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

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

5 And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

nequando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero;

6 I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo. Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi; et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.
