Psalmorum 13

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

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me continually! 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 have to devise resolves in my soul, with grief in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?

3 usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

Look down, answer me, O Lord my God! enlighten my eyes, that I may not sleep the sleep of death;

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

That my enemy may not say, I have overcome him; that my assailants may not be glad when I am moved.

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

But I trust in thy kindness, let my heart be glad because of 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.
