Psalm 13

1 [Psalm lal David] LEUM GOD, kom ac mulkinyula putaka? Ya kom ac mulkinyula ma pahtpat? Kom ac wikinkomla likiyu nwe ngac?

Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

2 Putaka nga ac muteng mwe keok nu sik? Ac putaka insiuk ac toasrkin ma inge ke len ac fong? Putaka mwet lokoalok luk ac kutangyula?

How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

3 Ngetma nu sik, O LEUM GOD luk, ac topukyu. Folokonak ku luk, ac tia lela nga in misa.

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

4 Nikmet lela tuh mwet lokoalok luk in fahk, “Kut kutangulla.” Nikmet lela elos in isrunyu ke munasla luk.

Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:

5 Nga lulalfongi na lungse pwaye lom; Nga ac fah insewowo mweyen kom ac fah moliyula.

Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:

6 Nga ac fah on nu sum, O LEUM GOD, Mweyen kom nuna wo nu sik.

But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
