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, 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 nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult over me?

3 usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

Look at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, lest I sleep in death,

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

lest my enemies claim to have triumphed, lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

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

But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help.

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 who was good to me.
