< Zaburi 13 >
1 Mpaka lini, Yahweh, utaendelea kunisahau? Ni kwa muda gani utauficha uso wako nisiuone?
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?
2 Ni kwa muda gani nitalazimika kuhofu na kuhuzunika moyoni mwangu kila siku? Ni kwa muda gani adui zangu watanishida?
How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?
3 Unitazame na unijibu, Yahwe Mungu wangu! Nipe mwanga machoni pangu, vinginevyo nitalala katika mauti.
Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,
4 Usimuache adui yangu aseme, “Nimemshinda huyu,” ili kwamba asiweze kusema, “Nimemtawala adui yangu;” la sivyo, maadui zangu watafurahia nitakapo shushwa chini.
lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.
5 Lakini nimeamini katika uaminifu wa agano lako; moyo wangu wafurahia katika wokovu wako.
But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.
6 Nitamuimbia Yahwe kwa kuwa ameniganga kwa ukarimu kabisa.
I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.
