< 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 music director. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn 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 must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious 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.
Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength, otherwise I'm going to die,
4 Ọ̀tá mi wí pé, “Èmi ti ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀,” àwọn ọ̀tá mi yóò yọ̀ tí mo bá ṣubú.
and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.
5 Ṣùgbọ́n mo gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ìfẹ́ rẹ tí kì í kùnà; ọkàn mi ń yọ̀ nínú ìgbàlà rẹ.
But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.
6 Èmi ó máa kọrin sí Olúwa, nítorí ó dára sí mi.
I will sing to the Lord because he has treated me with such generosity!
