Psalmorum 13

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

Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

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

How long must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

3 usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

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

Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

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

But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

6 ego autem in misericordia tua speravi exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi et psallam nomini Domini altissimi

Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.
