Psalms 13

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? — for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

2 How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

3 Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4 lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

5 But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

6 I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!
