Psalms 13

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Until when, O YHWH, Do You forget me forever? Until when do You hide Your face from me?

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away from me?

2 Until when do I set counsels in my soul, [With] sorrow in my heart daily? Until when is my enemy exalted over me?

How long can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?

3 Look attentively; Answer me, O YHWH, my God, Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

4 Lest my enemy say, “I overcame him,” My adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,

5 And I have trusted in Your kindness, My heart rejoices in Your salvation.

lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.

6 I sing to YHWH, For He has conferred benefits on me!

But I have hoped in your mercy. My heart will exult in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, who assigns good things to me. And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord Most High.
