Psalmorum 13

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

For the Leader. 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 by day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

Behold Thou, and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

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

Lest mine enemy say: 'I have prevailed against him'; lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

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

But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust; 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.
