Psalms 13

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD, wilt Thou forget me for ever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?

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

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

3 Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

Behold Thou, and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.

Lest mine enemy say: 'I have prevailed against him'; lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.

6 I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.

I will sing unto the LORD, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
