Psalmorum 13

1 in finem psalmus David usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea dolorem in corde meo per diem

How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

3 usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4 respice exaudi me Domine Deus meus inlumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in mortem

lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

5 nequando dicat inimicus meus praevalui adversus eum qui tribulant me exultabunt si motus fuero

But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your 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, for He has been good to me.
