Psalms 13

1 Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Yóò ti pẹ́ tó, Olúwa? Ìwọ o ha gbàgbé mi títí láé? Yóò tí pẹ́ tó tí ìwọ yóò máa fi ojú rẹ pamọ́ fún mi?

For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me? for ever? how long will you turn away your face from me?

2 Yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí èmi ó máa bá èrò mi jà, àti ní ojoojúmọ́ ni èmi ń ní ìbànújẹ́ ní ọkàn mi? Yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí àwọn ọ̀tá mi yóò máa borí mi?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Wò mí kí o sì dá mi lóhùn, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi. Fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún ojú mi, kí èmi ó má sún oorun ikú.

Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 Ọ̀tá mi wí pé, “Èmi ti ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀,” àwọn ọ̀tá mi yóò yọ̀ tí mo bá ṣubú.

lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

5 Ṣùgbọ́n mo gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ìfẹ́ rẹ tí kì í kùnà; ọkàn mi ń yọ̀ nínú ìgbàlà rẹ.

But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult in your salvation.

6 Èmi ó máa kọrin sí Olúwa, nítorí ó dára sí mi.

I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
