Psalmorum 13

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

Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

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

How long must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

3 Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

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

Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

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

But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

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

Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.
