Zaburi 13

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

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

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

Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in 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 fall.

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

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

6 Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.

I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.
