Zaburi 13

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana? Je, utanisahau milele? Utanificha uso wako mpaka lini?

How long, O Jehovah? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

2 Nitapambana na mawazo yangu mpaka lini, na kila siku kuwa na majonzi moyoni mwangu? Adui zangu watanishinda mpaka lini?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Nitazame, unijibu, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu. Yatie nuru macho yangu, ama sivyo nitalala usingizi wa mauti.

Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

4 Adui yangu atasema, “Nimemshinda,” nao adui zangu watashangilia nitakapoanguka.

lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 Lakini ninategemea upendo wako usiokoma; moyo wangu unashangilia katika wokovu wako.

But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.

I will sing to Jehovah because he has dealt bountifully with me.
