Psalms 13

1 How long, O Jehovah? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

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

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over 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?

3 Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

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

4 lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

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

5 But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

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

6 I will sing to Jehovah because he has dealt bountifully with me.

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