Psalm 13

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” How long, O LORD! wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide 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 have anxiety in my soul for ever, And sorrow in my heart all the day? 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.

Look down and hear me, O LORD, my God! Enlighten 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!” Lest my adversaries rejoice, when I am fallen.

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

Yet will I trust in thy goodness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation;

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

I will sing to the LORD, that he hath dealt kindly with me.
