Psalms 13

1 Unto 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?

To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Until when? O Yahweh will you forget me perpetuity until when? - will you hide face your from me.

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

Until when? will I set counsel in soul my sorrow in heart my by day until when? - will he be exalted enemy my over me.

3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Pay attention! answer me O Yahweh God my give light to! eyes my lest I should sleep the death.

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

Lest he should say enemy my I have prevailed over him opponents my they will rejoice if I am shaken.

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

And I - in covenant loyalty your I have trusted may it rejoice heart my in deliverance your

6 But 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.

I will sing to Yahweh for he has dealt bountifully towards me.
