13 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

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

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Trust in the Salvation of the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

13 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
(A)How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God;
(B)Enlighten my eyes,
(C)Lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Lest my enemy say,
“I have prevailed against him”;
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

But I have trusted in Your mercy;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Pag-ampo alang sa Panabang sa Dios

13 Ginoo, hangtod kanus-a ka nga dili manumbaling kanako?
Hangtod ba sa kahangtoran?
Hangtod kanus-a ka magtago gikan kanako?
Hangtod kanus-a ako mag-antos sa kaguol?
Hangtod kanus-a pa ako mag-antos sa tumang kasubo adlaw ug gabii?
Ug hangtod kanus-a ang pagdaog-daog kanako sa akong mga kaaway?

Hatagi akog pagtagad, Ginoo nga akong Dios;
tubaga ang akong pag-ampo.
Ibalik ang akong kusog,[a] kay kon dili, mamatay ako,
ug makaingon ang akong mga kaaway nga napildi na nila ako.
Kay malipay gayod sila kon malaglag ako.
Nagasalig ako, Ginoo, sa imong gugma.
Ug nagakalipay gayod ako tungod kay imo akong luwason.
Awitan ko ikaw, Ginoo, tungod kay sukad pa kaniadto maayo ka kanako.

    How long will my enemy triumph over me?(E)

Look on me(F) and answer,(G) Lord my God.
    Give light to my eyes,(H) or I will sleep in death,(I)

But I trust in your unfailing love;(L)
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.(M)
