< Psalmorum 13 >
1 Psalmus David, in finem. Usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem? Usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?
“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 Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem?
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 Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?
Look down and hear me, O LORD, my God! Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of 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 fallen.
5 ne quando dicat inimicus meus: Praevalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me, exultabunt si motus fuero:
Yet will I trust in thy goodness; 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 the LORD, that he hath dealt kindly with me.
