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?

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

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

Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

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

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.

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

As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

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

I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.
