Mapisarema 13

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Kusvikira riniko, nhai Jehovha? Muchandikanganwa nokusingaperi here? Muchasvika riniko makandivanzira chiso chenyu?

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 Ndichaita mutsimba nepfungwa dzangu kusvikira riniko, uye ndine shungu mumwoyo mangu zuva rimwe nerimwe? Muvengi wangu achandikurira kusvikira riniko?

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 Tarirai kwandiri mugondipindura, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu. Vhenekerai meso angu, kana kuti ndichafa ndakarara;

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

4 muvengi wangu achati, “Ndamukurira ndamukunda,” uye vadzivisi vangu vachapembera kana ndawa.

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

5 Asi ini ndinovimba norudo rwenyu rusingaperi; mwoyo wangu unofarira ruponeso rwenyu.

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

6 Ndichaimbira Jehovha, nokuti akandinakira.

I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
