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 for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away 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 counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

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

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

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

Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:

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

Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:

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

But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
