Psalmorum 13

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

How long, O Jehovah? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

2 Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

4 respice, et exaudi me Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in morte:

lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 ne quando dicat inimicus meus: Praevalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me, exultabunt si motus fuero:

But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo: cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi: et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.

I will sing to Jehovah because he has dealt bountifully with me.
