Psalmorum 13

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

HOW long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? 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 daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

Consider and hear 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; and those that trouble me 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 mercy; 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.
