Psalms 13

1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me continually! how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 How long shall I have to devise resolves in my soul, with grief in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?

How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?

3 Look down, answer me, O Lord my God! enlighten my eyes, that I may not sleep the sleep of death;

Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, —Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

4 That my enemy may not say, I have overcome him; that my assailants may not be glad when I am moved.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him! and, mine adversaries, exult, that I totter.

5 But I trust in thy kindness, let my heart be glad because of thy salvation:

But, I, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, My heart shall exult in thy salvation:

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

I will sing to Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully with me.
