Psalm 13

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

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?

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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