Psalmorum 13

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

For the Chief Musician. 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 take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

Consider [and] answer me, O LORD my God: lighten mine 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 mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [lest] mine 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 mercy; 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 unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
