Psalms 13

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

in finem psalmus David usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me

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

quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea dolorem in corde meo per diem

3 Consider and hear me, O YHWH my Elohim: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

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

respice exaudi me Domine Deus meus inlumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in mortem

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

nequando dicat inimicus meus praevalui adversus eum qui tribulant me exultabunt si motus fuero

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

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi et psallam nomini Domini altissimi
