Psalmorum 13

1 in finem psalmus David 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 exaudi me Domine Deus meus inlumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in mortem

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

5 nequando 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.
