Psalms 13

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

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

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?

3 Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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