Psalms 13

1Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

2How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

3How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

4Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:

5Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:

6But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.

1In finem. Psalmus David. [Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem? usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?

2quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem?

3usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

4Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte;

5nequando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero;

6ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo. Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi; et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.]

1Unto 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?

2How long can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?

3How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

4Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,

5lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.

6But 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.
