Psalm 13

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

How long will you forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long will you hide your 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 counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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