Zaburi 13

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.

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