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?

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away 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 can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?

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

How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

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

Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,

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

lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.

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

But I have hoped in your mercy. My heart will exult in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, who assigns good things to me. And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord Most High.
