< Psalmorum 13 >
1 Psalmus David, in finem. Usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem? Usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?
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 Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem?
Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?
3 Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?
Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,
4 respice, et exaudi me Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in morte:
Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.
5 ne quando dicat inimicus meus: Praevalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me, exultabunt si motus fuero:
And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart 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 do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!
